Whian Whain State Conservation Area is the largest remaining remnant of ‘Big Scrub’ in NE NSW - saved from unsuitable logging practices threatening the water catchment area for Rocky Creek Dam – by a three year campaign by conservationists 1994 – 1997 It was not until 2003 that the Whian Whian State Conservation Area was gazetted and included Nightcap and Kooynum Ranges. This provided additional protection to the forests of the Nightcap Range, its high biodiversity and threatened species, Aboriginal significance and water catchment values for the regional water supply.
