Bournda National Park NSWStriking coastal scenery and abundant wildlife are two features of this 8500 hectare park. It protects wetlands, coastal scrub and tall eucalypts, stunning beaches and headlands. There are plenty of walks and tracks within the park itself as well as the foreshore.Aboriginals have inhabited the park for thousands of years. There are signs of tool making and middens, piles of shells that have accumulated over the many thousands of years, their contents eaten by generations. These sites are regarded as significant by the traditional owners of the land. Bournda BeachesThe beaches on the coast of Bournda National Park, as well as Wallagoot Lake and the lagoons make it fun exploring this park. There are plenty of places to go for a picnic, including North Tura Beach, Hobart Beach and Scotts Bay. There are walks of varying difficulty within the park, allowing you magnificent views of the coast and Bournda Lagoon. Bondi Lake has unique flora not found anywhere else in Australia, the fact that the lake contains freshwater very near the ocean makes the animals that live here different to those usually found on coastline. Late Winter and Spring brings whale sightings along the South Coast. Please note: all flora and fauna, aboriginal sites and the rock formations are all protected in the park. Please leave nothing behind but footprints. Description: Tura Island and some unusual rock formations. NPWS MerimbulaThere are camping facilities located in the park at Hobart Beach.
