Booti Booti National Park

Booti Booti is a national park in New South Wales (Australia), 222 km northeast of Sydney.

The first European to inhabit the area was a Captain J. Gogerly who sailed from Forster to Sydney with loads of timber. He and some of his family are buried in the park. The park was declared a state recreation area from 30 September 1977, then a national park in 1992.
