The New England National Park is a protected national park located on the Northern Tablelands in the New England region of New South Wales, Australia. The park was created in May 1935 and is situated approximately north of Sydney, and south of Waterfall Way, just east of Armidale and west of Coffs Harbour. The closest village to New England National Park is Ebor, located away. The park is part of the New England Group World Heritage Site Gondwana Rainforests of Australia inscribed in 1986 and added to the Australian National Heritage List in 2007. More than 1,000 plant species are found within the park, attracting prolific birdlife. ==History== In the 1920s Philip Wright of Wollomombi led the push to have this area declared a National Park. Most of the area was declared a reserve in 1931 and in 1935 dedicated for public recreation. Between 1934 and 1956 mining leases for antimony were granted.〔Donald, J.Kay, Exploring the North Coast and New England, Kangaroo Press, Kenthurst, 1978, ISBN 0-86417-121-8〕 The national park was officially opened by the Governor General Lord Gowrie in 1937,〔New England National Park: A brief history. 1982. New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service〕 although the wilderness area was recognised for its beauty as early as the 1920s. New England National Park (NENP) was World Heritage listed in 1986 and forms part of the New England Group of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia (previously the Central Eastern Rainforest Reserves of Australia) (CERRA). The Gondwana Rainforests of Australia was added to the Australian National Heritage List in 2007. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New England National Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
