Kanangra Boyd National Park [1] is located in the Australian state of New South Wales some 180 km west of Sydney and adjacent (south and east) to Jenolan Caves. Expansive mountain gorges, magnificent lookouts and a series of wild and scenic rivers give a special edge to Kanagra-Boyd's wilderness.

[edit] Understand

Created in 1969, Kanangra-Boyd National Park covers 66,681 ha.

[edit] History

The slope leading up to the Kanangra Plateau was made in 1942 by Australian Army Engineers. It was intended to be part of the Oboron stock route; where; in the advent of Australia being invaded by the Japanese cattle, sheep & possibly pigs would be driven, via Burragorang valley to Oberon - crossing the Kanangra Plateau The battle of guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands where the Japanese suffered their first defeat (1942) stopped the Japanese thrust and the Oberon stock route was not needed.
