Oolambeyan is a 22,231 hectare national park located south of Carrathool and 46 kilometres (29 mi) south east of Hay in the Riverina region of south western New South Wales, Australia.[1]

Oolambeyan Station was once a grazing property for its merino stud which was purchased by the Government of New South Wales in November 2001.[2][3]

Park provides a great opportunity for day visitors to activities such as bushwalking, picnicking and bird watching, near Hay and Griffith.[4]

Among the animal species, carpet snakes, shingle-backed lizards, lace monitors, gray and red kangaroos can be found here.[5]
