It's an important site to the Indigenous Ngemba people and there are many artifacts and rock art that can be found within the park, though only one of them is accessible to travellers.

A 6-bedroom self-contained accommodation in an old shearers' quarter built sometime during the mid-20th century back before the major conservation movement in New South Wales began. Whilst a historic site, it has many modern facilities including a kitchen, a verandah, a carpark that can fit four vehicles (4WDs that is) plus bathroom facilities (with hot water – perfect for winter!). Only a maximum of 12 guests are permitted at a time though.
A small campground with only six unmarked campsites. This campground is really in the center of nowhere, but that is an experience in itself.
Though you will need to drive on dirt roads to access the core and centre of the park, thanks to various upgrades by the NSW Government early this century, all roads but a 75-km section of the Cobb Highway are now…
