Bouddi National Park, Nature reserve in Central Coast, Australia
Description
Bouddi National Park is a coastal reserve on Australia's southeast coast featuring sandstone cliffs, sandy shores, and open heathland. The park also contains patches of temperate rainforest that create pockets of lush vegetation different from the wind-exposed coastal areas.
History
The area was first designated as a natural park in 1936 and became an official national park in 1967. It received its current name and status in 1974.
Culture
The name Bouddi comes from an Aboriginal word meaning heart, showing how deeply connected Indigenous peoples were to this land. Visitors walking through the park can sense this long heritage in the landscape itself.
Practical
The park has walking trails, camping grounds, and cycling paths suitable for different abilities and interests. Main facilities are located at Putty Beach and Maitland Bay, where visitors can find information and rest areas.
