On Sat 28 April 2018 the Tops will be alive with the sounds of gravel grinders enjoying Thunderbolt's Adventure: a 220km gravel road race around, up & over Barrington Tops. The route is 90% gravel road with total elevation of 5,000 vertical metres. Can you feel the burn yet?

What’s cooking on your school holiday campfire this weekend? How about a simmering steamboat, it represents more than just good food, it’s a tradition for family bonding & is all about sharing happiness. Happy holidays! :-) Photo in Barrington Tops by @jujuseah www.barringtontopstourism.com.au #barringtontops #campdinner #campfood #glampingnsw #glampingfood #steamboatnight #steamboattime #steamboat

Put yourself in Nature at Barrington Tops. Packrafts are small, lightweight inflatable rafts that can fit inside your pack so they’re easy to take anywhere. They’re as much fun to paddle as mountain bikes are to ride, so go for a spin around Barrington Tops & finish with an easy downstream paddle. :-) Photo on the Barrington River by @bencirulis www.barringtontopstourism.com.au #barringtontops #barringtonriver #backtonature #weekendadventures #packrafting #packraft

The weekend is coming, where will it take you? How about a no blacktop trip at Barrington Tops, isn’t it time you got muddy again? :-) Photo by @alastairwadlow www.barringtontopstourism.com.au #barringtontops #theweekendadventure #backtonature #roadtrip #4wdaustralia #noblacktop

Midweek inspiration: The Mountaineer-Glowang Trail in Gloucester Tops is a challenging walk with spectacular views across pristine wilderness. Just remember to look up & read the poems. :-) This photo at Gloucester Tops by @bctherealthing www.barringtontopstourism.com.au #barringtontops #backtonature #khalilgibran #khalilgibranquotes #kahlilgibran #nswparks #natureinspiration #wildernessculture #gloucestertops #barringtontopsnationalpark #poetry #poetrylovers #poetryisnotdead #poetry_addicts #poetryporn #poetryofinstagram

Extraordinary nature in Barrington Tops: purring frogs & changing colour for sex. The Eastern Stony Creek Frog (Litoria wilcoxii) is found in Barrington Tops & the males turn a bright yellow during mating season. And instead of croaks, males call with a very soft purring. The species is threatened by habitat loss especially spawning areas, so take care around our waterways & watch out for the purring frog seducing its partner with a costume change. :-) This photo in Barrington Tops by @albertpomeroy www.barringtontopstourism.com.au #barringtontops #backtonature #wildernessculture #frogs #frogsofinstagram #nswparks #nswstateforests

Sun’s out, fun’s out. Did you know that cows are affectionate & love to be stroked & scratched behind the ears? They’re also considered generally intelligent… but we’ve never seen one that could stay upright in a rubber ring. ;-) Photo at the Barrington River by @twistopsretreatbackpackers www.barringtontopstourism.com.au #barringtontops #barringtonriver #cowlove #happycows

Summer is still here, do you need a change from the beach? Chill out in a waterfall at Barrington Tops: a high altitude wilderness experience with 125,000 hectares of national parks, state forests & conservation areas… and a waterfall or two for chilling out! :-) This lovely photo at Gloucester Tops by @your_favorite_beth www.barringtontopstourism.com.au #barringtontops #barringtontopsnationalpark #nswstateforests #wildswimmingaustralia #barringtontopsnp #gloucesterfalls #nswparks #smilesfordays

Gold medal for sure... How's your weekend going, have you found your favourite spot yet? We reckon the Commonwealth Games needs a synchronised jumping event… with extra points for a big splash. :-) Video at Ladies Well by @saeida www.barringtontopstourism.com.au #barringtontops #theweekendadventure #backtonature #nswparks #nswstateforests #wildswimmingaustralia #handsintheairlikeyoujustdontcare #handsintheair

What’s cooking on your school holiday campfire this weekend? How about this stack for a delicious camping breakfast? It’s the April school holidays… go bananas! :-) Photo by @campfirekitchen www.barringtontopstourism.com.au #barringtontops #campbreakfast #campfood #glampingnsw #glampingfood

Put yourself in Nature at Barrington Tops. Make like a tree fern & greet the sun! The high moist valleys of Barrington Tops are perfect habitat for the tree fern 'Dicksonia antarctica' which provide a handy home or shelter for delicate epiphyte ferns, rare orchids & mosses…. an extraordinary micro community under each fern. :-) This happy face is @catseyestyle www.barringtontopstourism.com.au #barringtontops #backtonature #wildernessculture #barringtontopsnationalpark #gondwanaland #nswparks #nswstateforests #treefern #treeferns #treefernforest

The weekend is coming, where will it take you? How about taking the beast for a country drive to Barrington Tops… but you may get your boots wet occasionally. :-) Photo by @hamishb www.barringtontopstourism.com.au #barringtontops #theweekendadventure #backtonature #roadtrip #motorbiketrip
