Bongil Bongil National Park

Bongil Bongil National Park stretches across 42 square kilometers of diverse ecosystems, including coastal wetlands, sandy beaches, and rainforest near Sawtell, New South Wales.

The New South Wales government established Bongil Bongil National Park in 1995 to protect local ecosystems and preserve the natural environment for future generations.

Indigenous Australians maintained strong connections to this land before European settlement, using its abundant natural resources for sustenance and traditional practices.

Visitors can access multiple walking tracks throughout the park, with designated areas for swimming, fishing, birdwatching, and cycling along specified routes.

The park houses one of the largest koala populations in New South Wales, with recorded sightings of 165 different bird species within its boundaries.
