Myall Lakes National Park

Myall Lakes National Park is a protected coastal area in New South Wales featuring interconnected lakes, wetlands, and sandy beaches stretching about 40 kilometers. Large sand dune formations create the backdrop, shaping the landscape's distinctive character.

The park was officially protected in 1972 when the New South Wales government established it as a nature reserve covering about 448 square kilometers. This designation marked an important moment in safeguarding these coastal ecosystems.

The Worimi people have deep roots in this landscape, with Dark Point serving as a place that honors their ancestral connection to the land. Walking through the park, you can encounter signs and sites that reflect their ongoing presence and stories.

The park has multiple campgrounds and facilities accessible via a vehicle ferry at Bombah Point, which helps distribute visitors across different areas. Plan your visit around the ferry schedule to make the most of the day and explore at a comfortable pace.

The Grandis is a flooded gum tree reaching about 76 meters tall and ranks among the tallest documented trees in the region. Seeing this remarkable tree offers visitors a rare glimpse of nature's scale and age.
