===Fauna=== [[File:echidna gravel.jpg|right|thumb|An [[echidna]] on a walking trail]] The remoteness and inaccessibility of a large part of the park has allowed some of the more sensitive animals to remain largely undisturbed. A large number of fauna have been catalogued in the park. Some of the more common animals include: [[Barking owl|barking]] and [[greater sooty owl|sooty owls]], [[eastern grey kangaroo]]s, [[frog]]s, [[pademelon]]s, [[cockatoo]]s, [[rosella]]s, [[kookaburra]]s, [[bat]]s and [[echidna]]s. It supports a globally important population of [[rufous scrub-bird]]s, as well as [[flame robin]]s, [[pale-yellow robin]]s, [[paradise riflebird]]s, [[green catbird]]s, [[regent bowerbird]]s and [[Australian logrunner]]s.<ref name=iba/> Animals such as [[quoll]]s, [[List of rodents of Australia|native rodents]] and [[platypus]] are reclusive, but may be seen. Not all of the animals in the park are desirable; introduced species such as [[Brumby|feral horses]], [[List of invasive species in Australia|deer]], [[Feral pig|feral pigs]], [[Feral goats in Australia|feral goats]], [[Red foxes in Australia|foxes]], and [[Cats in Australia|feral cats]] are planned to be removed.<ref>{{Cite web|first1=Frances|last1=Thompson|first2=Donna|last2=Sharpe|date=2011-12-29|title=Ferals under fire in Barrington Tops|url=https://www.newcastleherald.com.au/story/441321/ferals-under-fire-in-barrington-tops/|access-date=2021-02-18|website=[[Newcastle Herald]]|language=en-AU}}</ref>
