Bungonia National Park Bungonia National Park Bungonia National Park is a protected national park that is located in the Australian state of New South Wales, roughly east of the city of Goulburn and south-west of Sydney. The approximately park borders the Bungonia State Conservation Area to the South, Morton National Park to the East, and Bungonia Creek to the North.
