Editing Wadbilliga National Park (section)

==Location and features==
Wadbilliga National Park is located {{convert|425|km}} southwest of [[Sydney]] via [[Cobargo]], and {{convert|150|km}} south east of [[Canberra]]. The nearest towns are [[Narooma]] and Cobargo in the east, and [[Cooma]] on the plateau in the west.

Wadbilliga is a wilderness area, and much of its protected area is in a near pristine state.<ref>National Parks & Wildlife Service – information pamphlet December 1998</ref> Featuring rugged gorges and gullies. Suited to overnight camping and wilderness walking (only for the most experienced and well prepared). Areas of interest include the Tuross Falls, the [[Tuross River]] Gorge and Brogo Wilderness Area. The Wadbilliga Track is a scenic four wheel drive road which travels up the escarpment from east to west.

Wadbilliga is in a remote part of Australia, and has had little influence from mankind in the history of European settlement. In recent decades, it has become protected, and has intentionally been left in a natural state.{{citation needed|date=May 2013}}
