National ParksThe power of your feet to please your eyes.
Travelling under your own power is the best way to enjoy what we have to offer. Our natural gifts reveal far more of themselves when you take the time to take them in. Eurobodalla is blessed with a number of major national parks and reserves. These protected and unspoiled areas of coastline, beaches, rainforests, bush, rivers, lakes and estuaries provide visitors an opportunity to see amazing landscapes, native plants, wildlife and bird life. This beautiful region provides an exciting range of experiences from bushwalking, camping to whale watching and birdwatching. The protection of extensive spotted gum forests provide habitat for birds such as the brilliant orange king parrot, owls and sea hawks and animal life including the endangered potoroo. Walking or cycling through the countryside, up in the mountains, and into vast tracts of National Parks and State Forests piles on one sensory memory after another. How else will you smell the sweet perfume of eucalyptus in the morning or feel the splash of crystal clear creek water on your face? Will you ever hear a calf mooing, the grass hissing in the wind, a kangaroo chewing, or yourself thinking any other way? Our countryside is yours. The paths lead everywhere and nowhere. Up and down, back and around. There’s no particular destination because just taking them is the reward. Eurobodalla is a land of many fabulous, accessible bushwalks and wonderful places to be. That’s the appeal of Eurobodalla’s abundant national parks and nature reserves. And the sense that nature has a sanctuary, in places that future generations will embrace and enjoy. Eurobodalla national parks belong to everyone …. being there is yours alone. Maps (including South Coast Forest Map and a range of topographical maps) and brochures are available at Eurobodalla’s Visitor Information Centres. More information on walking routes.
