Watagan is an Aboriginal word meaning "many ridges" (Source: Newcastle Herald 11 May 1993). The Watagan Mountains are located on the western side of Lake Macquarie. They are part of the Great Dividing Range, and stretch from the Upper Hunter in the north to Tuggerah Lakes in the south. The area is a spectacular pristine wilderness, and popular tourist and recreational destination. Several designated wilderness areas, including the Watagans National Park and Olney, Heaton, Awaba, Ourimbah and Wyong state forests spread along the range and boast graded walking tracks, scenic lookouts and well maintained picnic and barbecue spots.
