Description

Boorabee Willows Indigenous Protected Area is on the western slopes of NSW New England Tablelands. 2,700 ha of grassland, grassy white box woodland and shrubby stringybark woodland. The Severn River runs through the middle of the properties. You can expect to see Turquoise Parrots, Brown Treecreeper, Speckled Warbler, Black-chinned Honeyeater, Hooded Robin, Grey-crowned Babbler, Varied Sittella and Diamond Firetail.

A relatively remote area so you can expect to be camping in solitude. The property has a reasonably good network of tracks so getting around the place reasonably good, with the option of more remote off track walks.
