Myall Lakes National Park, Coastal nature reserve in New South Wales, Australia

Myall Lakes National Park is a coastal nature reserve in New South Wales made up of interconnected lakes, wetlands, sand dunes, and ocean beaches. The lakes sit behind tall dune systems that separate them from the open sea, giving the park its layered coastal character.

The Worimi Aboriginal people inhabited the Myall Lakes area for its natural resources, and Dark Point Aboriginal Place has been used for ceremonies and feasts for at least 4000 years. The park was listed under the Ramsar Convention in 1999, recognising its coastal lake system and wetlands.

Dark Point, within the park, is an Aboriginal Place where the Worimi gathered for ceremonies and feasts; the site has held meaning for them for at least 4000 years. The park also contains spiritual sites tied to the identity of local Aboriginal people.

A vehicle ferry at Bombah Point is the only way to reach certain parts of the park by car, so it is worth arriving early to avoid waiting. The park has several campgrounds spread across the area, which means you can choose a spot based on the type of landscape you want to explore.

The Grandis, a flooded gum (Eucalyptus grandis) in the park, is 76 metres tall and the tallest tree in New South Wales, not in Australia as a whole. It grows in the forest near the lakes and is reached on foot along a walking track.
