Overview

The Yuraygir National Park is the largest coastal park in New South Wales and one of the most diverse bioregions in the country. From age-old coastal landforms, littoral rainforest, eucalypt forest, woodland and wetlands, you can see it all in Yuraygir National Park. The National Park is home to the stunning Yuraygir Coastal Track which follows the footsteps of the ancient coastal emus that once thrived in the park.

We walk southwards taking in the sweeping and ever-changing views. The park is home to an abundance of Australian native wildlife. As you walk keep an eye out for kangaroos, white-bellied sea eagles, yellow-tailed black cockatoos, emus and whales. Carrying only a day pack, you'll walk along pristine beaches, cross creeks and rock hop across multiple small and remote beaches. Each night you will stay in beautifully appointed and comfortable canvas tents with real mattress beds, organic cotton sheets and cosy quilts. With one river to cross by boat, deserted beaches and spectacular headlands to discover, your guide will take you on an adventure to remember.
