Areas of interest include the Tuross Falls, the Tuross River Gorge and Brogo Wilderness Area. The Wadbilliga Track is a scenic four wheel drive road which travels up the escarpment from east to west. Wadbilliga National Park has intentionally been left in a natural state.

Other habitats include bogs, dry exposed eucalyptus woodland, riverside forest, swamps and heaths.
