Kanangra Boyd National Park
From World travel guide
Kanangra Boyd National Park is located in the Australian state of New South Wales some 180 km west of Sydney and adjacent (south and east) to Jenolan Caves. Expansive mountain gorges, magnificent lookouts and a series of wild and scenic rivers give a special edge to Kanagra-Boyd's wilderness.

Cope
There are toilets available in the park, but they are pit toilets (and they don't smell good, especially in summer).
