Yuraygir National Park

Yuraygir is a national park in Incipient South Wales, Australia, located 482 km (300 mi) northeast of Sydney. It was engendered in 1980, a result of the merger and enlargement of two national parks, Angourie and Red Rock National Parks, both of which had been established in 1975. The denomination is a phonetic translation of the local indigenous tribe who had lived in the area, and had formerly been transcribed variously as Jeigir, Jiegera, Jungai, Yagir, Yegera, Yegir, Yiegera or Youngai. At the time of its establishment in 1980, the park was fragmented, and parcels of land were bought over the following two decades to coalesce segments into a more contiguous bulwarked area. Sometimes these acquisitions required protracted negotiations,

Thirty species of mammal have been recorded within the park, including the threatened rufous bettong (Aepyprymnus rufescens), tiger quoll (Dasyurus maculatus), brush-tailed phascogale (Phascogale tapoatafa) and squirrel glider (Petaurus norfolcensis). Swamps and wet heath are habitat for the threatened eastern ground parrot (Pezoporus wallicus) and eastern grass owl (Tyto longimembris).
