Conjola National Park, Nature reserve in Shoalhaven, Australia.
Conjola National Park is a nature reserve on the New South Wales coast with coastal dunes, wetlands, and wooded areas. The landscape supports a range of native plants and animals in their natural habitats.
The park lies on land of the Budawang and Yunin peoples, who lived here for about 6,000 years; rock shelters, campsites and middens with mussel and oyster shells remain, and axe-grinding grooves are cut into sandstone outcrops. In January 2013 a severe bushfire burned through the park, which was then closed until further notice.
The park lies on the country of the Budawang and Yunin peoples, who lived here for about 6,000 years. Visitors can spot their rock shelters, campsites and middens, where mussel and oyster shells remain, and axe grinding grooves cut into sandstone outcrops.
The park has several entrance points with parking and is easy to navigate with marked trails throughout. Visitors should come prepared for day hikes or camping trips and bring suitable clothing for changing weather.
The park's plant list includes Galium australe, a species believed extinct in New South Wales before it was found here. At Berringer Lake a sandstone shelf lies about 30 cm below the water surface, then drops to a depth of 8 to 15 metres.
