A lot of the tracks are still closed after the January 2013 fires
See here for details, under the "alert" tab

You may get a better response to this question if you post it in the NSW section.

Probably won't find much on overnight walks here because, quoting from UNE's Guide to Northeastern NSW, "Off-track walking in the park is not encouraged due to the fragile habitat". Lack of water is also a problem. I suppose you could head south over the tops to the next valley via the service trail to the 'walkers only' camping area (with water tank) and then head back partially off track the next day.

Even if that way inclined, it is not somewhere I'd go for overnight walking. Better to set up camp for a few days, do the track walks and view the scenery. If you drive west out of the park, turn south, then east, you will come to the previously mentioned camping area. I admit to spending a night here and having the place to myself. There may be a negotiable route up onto Mt Naman from here, or you can drive or walk a bit further south and walk up from the other side. Spend a fascinating day exploring the plateau.
