Eurobodalla National Park, National park in Eurobodalla Shire, New South Wales, Australia
Eurobodalla National Park is a coastal nature reserve on the far south coast of New South Wales, stretching from Moruya Heads to Mystery Bay. The park combines sandy beaches, native forests, wetland areas, and a network of walking paths that explore both the shoreline and inland habitats.
The park protects separate coastal sections between Moruya Heads and Tilba Tilba Lake, including the mouths of the Deua and Tuross rivers. Its recorded heritage is maritime: the wrecks of the SS Monaro and the Kameruka, the pilot station at South Head Moruya and the cemetery at Toragy Point.
The park's cultural landmarks are maritime rather than Aboriginal in the sources: the Toragy Point cemetery near Moruya Heads, the pilot station at South Head Moruya, and the wrecks of the SS Monaro and the Kameruka. These sit within the traditional country of the Yuin on the far south coast, but the recorded sites mark European shipping and settlement history.
The park is reached via the Princes Highway and begins at the mouth of the Deua River, also taking in the mouth of the Tuross River. Because it is non-contiguous, its sections lie between Moruya Heads and south of Narooma; pick a section before setting out. The pilot station at South Head, Moruya, and the Toragy Point cemetery are marked sites within it.
Four shipwrecks and maritime sites lie within the park: the wreck of the SS Monaro, the pilot station at South Head Moruya, the Toragy Point cemetery and the wreck of the Kameruka. BirdLife International lists the park in the Ulladulla to Merimbula Important Bird Area because of its importance for swift parrots.
