Coorabakh is a national park located near Hannam Vale in New South Wales, Australia, 272 kilometres (169 mi) northeast of Sydney.
Three volcanic outcrops known as Big Nellie (31°42′2″S 152°31′20″E / 31.70056°S 152.52222°E), Flat Nellie (31°42′39″S 152°30′37″E / 31.71083°S 152.51028°E) and Little Nellie (31°41′40″S 152°30′3″E / 31.69444°S 152.50083°E) dominate the park.
The park is covered in tall eucalypt forest and shrubs on the exposed Lansdowne escarpment, while warm temperate and subtropical rainforest can be found in more protected areas. Endangered species such as the spotted-tailed quoll, powerful owl and stuttering frog can be found in the area.
