Limeburners Creek National Park

Limeburners Creek National Park spans 91.2 square kilometers of coastline, featuring sandy beaches, heathlands, blackbutt forests, and rainforest zones near Port Macquarie.

The area transformed from a nature reserve to national park status in 2010, following its early industrial history of lime production through oyster shell burning.

Archaeological evidence indicates continuous occupation by Birpai and Dunghutti peoples for over 5000 years, with stone quarries and shell middens marking their presence.

Visitors can access camping facilities at Point Plomer and Melaleuca grounds, with vehicle entry fees of 8 dollars per day or annual pass options.

Black swans inhabit Saltwater Lake while rare ground parrots, spotted quolls, and koalas find refuge in the park's diverse ecological communities.
