Budawang National Park is a national park in New South Wales, Australia, located approximately 200 kilometres (120 mi) southwest of Sydney and 25 kilometres (16 mi) north of Batemans Bay. It contains part of the Budawang Mountain Range.
Budawang National Park is named after Mount Budawang. The mountain itself derives from the Aboriginal word 'Buddawong'. The vantage point afforded by the mountain was originally used to make signal fires.[2]
The Budawang National Park is largely isolated. Its terrain is steep and rugged. The park comprises high-elevation moist forests.[2]
