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 area was home to Indigenous peoples who developed deep ties to the natural environment over countless generations. It became a protected reserve to preserve the landscape and its wildlife for the future.
The name comes from an Indigenous word reflecting the traditional connection of Aboriginal people to this land. Today, visitors can learn about this cultural heritage through information signs and ranger-led talks throughout the park.
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 is known for its rare heathland areas, which are uncommon along the New South Wales coast. These specialized plant communities develop from the combination of coastal conditions and sandy soils.
