Burrum Coast National Park, National park in Queensland, Australia
Burrum Coast National Park covers a strip of coastline featuring mangroves, brackish wetlands, and sandy beaches where several habitat types meet. The varied terrain supports a wide range of native plants and animals throughout the year.
Burrum Coast National Park was established in 1999 by merging the Kinkuna, Woodgate and Burrum River national parks. It lies in the Bundaberg and Fraser Coast regions, about 281 km north of Brisbane, and today consists of four separate sections: Kinkuna, Woodgate, Burrum River and Buxton.
The park's four sections carry local names: Kinkuna, Woodgate, Burrum River and Buxton. The Burrum River section lies south of the river mouth, and the coastal towns of Burrum Heads and Woodgate Beach sit surrounded by park land, so the reserve is part of everyday life for these communities.
Several walking trails of varying lengths wind through the park for nature exploration and wildlife observation. Early morning visits offer the best chance to see animals and birds before the day becomes warm.
