This nature park is part (pieces of) the Kangaroo Valley and it protects areas of both plateau and escarpment country.

From the National Parks website, that manages this Reserve is the following:

"Hidden away on a high plateau between the NSW south coast and Kangaroo Valley, you’ll find Cambewarra Range Nature Reserve. The park is quite unusual in that it’s made up of parcels of land spread across Cambewarra Mountain Range rather than being within a single boundary. And just as great things come in small packages, this, along with its diversity of plant communities, birdlife and animals, simply adds to the reserve’s unique appeal.

"Looking for a new perspective on the world? Drive up to towards Red Rocks trig station and take a short walk for views across the rural patchwork and forested landscape of Kangaroo Valley. Anyone who chooses to go walking or mountain biking can also access Browns Mountain trig station by following Browns Mountain trail.

"So pack a picnic lunch and bring your friends, family, bushwalking group or birdwatching club to explore Cambewarra Range."

Red Rocks Trig Trail:
Red Rocks trig walking track leads you through natural heathland across a Hawkesbury sandstone plateau. From here you can relax (away from the cliff edge please), and have great views over the Kangaroo Valley. North and west is the Morton National Park, with the Budderroo National Park to the northeast. Binoculars will be handy, to not only pick out where other Trig Points are, if you have brought a topographic map with you, but also for twitching.

Access: it is 50 km SW of Wollongong, and 16 NW of Nowra. While the last bit of the track in is dirt, it is suitable for most 2wds.
