Burrum Coast National Park - QLD

Burrum Coast National Park is divided into three sections, Woodgate, Kinkuna and Burrum River, covering 23,100 hectares of diverse plant and animal communities, including mangrove-lined riverbanks, wallum heath with spectacular wildflowers and tea tree-dominated swamps where Livistona palms reach above the canopy. Areas of deeper soil support eucalypt forests, including the vulnerable Goodwood gum.

The central section (Woodgate) of the park, can be reached via Woodgate Beach township. From Woodgate Beach township, signs lead you to the national park.

Access to the northern section (Kinkuna) of the park, is by 4WD vehicle only. See pix to evaluate the sand driving conditions. Wet weather access may be restricted due to local flooding. See the DERM website for access details: http://www.derm.qld.gov.au/parks/burrum-coast/about.html
