Yengo National Park is a rugged sandstone area in the Blue Mountains’ foothills, stretching from Wisemans Ferry to the Hunter Valley. This is wild country, with few facilities, limited road access and some beaut walks (plan your water supply), including a stretch along Old Great North Rd. There’s camping at Mogo Creek (adult/child per night $10/5), Finchley ($5/3) and Blue Bums ($14/7). North of the river, a scenic road leads east from Wisemans Ferry to the Central Coast, tracing the river’s bows before veering north through bushland and orange groves.
