Twertup, located in the north-west of the park, is a truly magic place - the scenery is beautiful, the setting serene.  In January 2008, a wildfire burnt Twertup and significantly damaged the Field Studies Centre.  Subsequently, the site has been closed to the public until the building can be restored and the area rehabilitated.

    The spongolite building was built in 1965 by Horace Worth, the operator of the adjacent spongolite quarry. The quarry closed in the early 1970s and, at the invitation of the National Parks Authority, the abandoned house was restored and maintained by the FFRNP.

A Twertup Master Development Plan has been completed in collaboration with the Department of Environment and Conservation.  We are now actively sourcing funding to rebuild the Field Studies Centre.  Your monetary contribution or in-kind support, e.g. provision of materials or labour, would be greatly appreciated.
