The Mount Royal National Park is a protected national park located in the Hunter region of New South Wales, Australia. Gazetted in 1997, the 6,920-hectare (17,100-acre) park is situated approximately 187 kilometres (116 mi) north of Sydney. Sections of the park had been subject to logging, which was disrupted by a blockade in 1989.[2]

The park is part of the Barrington Tops group World Heritage Site Gondwana Rainforests of Australia inscribed in 1986[3] and added to the Australian National Heritage List in 2007.[4]

During the 2019 Australian Bushfire Season, the park was damaged by the ‘Mount Royal 1’ fire.

## Major Peaks[edit]

Mount Royal is the highest peak at 1,186m.

Pieres Peak is a major peak south of Mount Royal at 986m.

## Fauna[edit]

The park is home to endangered animal species such as parma wallaby, rufous scrub bird, paradise riflebird, hastings river mouse and the glossy black-cockatoo.

The animals that live here do not seem to have evolved, today they look like their fossil remains.[5]
