Description

The Barren Grounds Nature Reserve occupies 1,532 hectares (3,790 acres) in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales. It is located east of Budderoo National Park, and west of the city of Kiama, New South Wales. The reserve can also be accessed from the south, via a local road and a bush walk from the town of Berry, New South Wales. It is not far from the Nameless Sylvan Reserve owned by Bush Heritage Australia.

The nature reserve has several good lookouts that offer fine views of the coast. Interesting rock formations can be seen at Drawing Room Rocks in the southern part of the reserve.

Barren Grounds Bird Observatory is located in the park.
