Single

Single National Park is a small rainforest and wet forest park in the northern rivers region of New South Wales, located in the ranges near Grafton in the Clarence Valley. Covering approximately 1,230 hectares, the park protects significant areas of subtropical rainforest and wet sclerophyll forest on the volcanic ranges of the Clarence Valley hinterland. The park contributes to the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area and provides habitat connectivity in the fragmented northern rivers landscape.

Single National Park supports subtropical rainforest wildlife typical of the Clarence Valley hinterland. The park provides habitat for diverse rainforest birds including the Wompoo fruit-dove and regent bowerbird. Ringtail possums and diverse bats inhabit the canopy. The park contributes to wildlife movement corridors across the northern rivers landscape.

Subtropical rainforest dominates the sheltered slopes with bangalow palms, hoop pines, and diverse vine forest species. Warm temperate rainforest with coachwood occurs on cooler aspects. Tall wet sclerophyll forest forms the transition to open forest.

The park is underlain by basaltic rocks associated with the Cenozoic volcanism of the Clarence Valley. The basaltic soils support the subtropical rainforest communities.

Warm subtropical climate with high summer rainfall. Annual rainfall approximately 1,200 to 1,600 millimetres. Warm humid summers, mild winters.

The Gumbaynggirr people are the traditional custodians of the Clarence Valley. The rainforest provided diverse resources.

Single National Park was established as part of the Gondwana Rainforests conservation network in the Clarence Valley.

The park offers walking through subtropical rainforest. Birdwatching for rainforest species is rewarding.

Basic visitor facilities. Access via roads from Grafton. Grafton provides visitor services. Approximately 640 kilometres north of Sydney. A national parks pass applies.

Lantana control is the primary management challenge. Maintaining connectivity to adjacent protected areas is important.
