The Enmore area is about 40 km
southeast of Armidale. It is bounded on the north and east by the
Macleay River, to the south by Blue Mountain Creek, and to the west
by gently undulating cleared grazing country- a rough rectangle
about 40 km E-W X 10 km N-S.
The only public access to Oxley Wild
Rivers National Park is from Dangar Falls at the northwestern corner
of Enmore. However, there are a number of property owners who
welcome walkers on their land, provided they observe the normal
courtesies. Their addresses are available from
Armidale Outdoors and
the Armidale Bushwalking Club.

walks, it is hard to beat the extensive track network around the
tops accessible from the Dangars Falls carpark. Long overnight
through walks down the Macleay system can also start here
