The Mount Hyland Nature Reserve is a protected nature reserve that is located in the New England region of New South Wales, in eastern Australia. The 2,519-hectare (6,220-acre) reserve is situated approximately 35 kilometres (22 mi) west of Dorrigo.

The reserve is part of the New England Group of the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Gondwana Rainforests of Australia, inscribed in 1986 and added to the Australian National Heritage List in 2007.^[2]^[3]

Features

Mount Hyland is a triple peaked mountain, some 400 metres (1,300 ft) higher than the surrounding plain. The highest point is 1,434 metres (4,705 ft) above sea level.

The temperate rainforest is of scientific interest, being a remnant of former Gondwana forests that once covered Australia. The rainforest lacks the Antarctic Beech and is dominated by Common Sassafras and other species.
