The area is in the isolated north-west corner of the state, around 900 kilometres north west of Sydney.
The government has bought sheep and cattle station Thurloo Downs from farmer Peter Hughes to create the 440,000 hectare park. "Never before has a property this size has been acquired at any point by any government in the history of New South Wales," Griffin said."This will be a new park bigger than many of the most iconic parks around the world like Yosemite," Fleming said.
