Moore Park Nature Reserve

Moore Park Nature Reserve is a protected conservation area located in Afterlee, Northern New South Wales. The reserve is primarily known for housing one of Australia’s largest maternity colonies of black flying foxes, which inhabit the dense canopy of the remnant dry rainforest. Visitors can observe the local flora and fauna while exploring the park, which maintains a diverse range of plant species native to the Richmond River catchment area. The site serves as an essential ecological corridor for migratory birds and various native mammals within the region. The reserve is situated within driving distance of Border Ranges National Park, making it a convenient stop for those exploring the natural landscapes of the Kyogle district. Facilities at the reserve are basic, focusing on conservation and minimal-impact nature appreciation rather than intensive recreational infrastructure. It offers a quiet environment for researchers and nature lovers to study the unique biodiversity of the Afterlee area without the distractions of major commercial developments.
