Eurimbula National Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eurimbula is a national park in Queensland (Australia), 411 km north of Brisbane. The nearest town is Agnes Water.

Eurimbula consists of three separate sections. The main section is centred around Eurimbula Creek and is accessible (4WD recommended) from the main Agnes Water road. There are camping facilities at Bustard Beach near the mouth of Eurimbula Creek. Inland, a short uphill walk leads to a lookout, known as Ganoonga Noonga, with views of the coast and paperbark swamps of the park. Further north, there is another camping ground at Middle Creek, however there are no facilities here.

The northern section of the park includes Bustard Head and Rodd's Peninsula. Tours from the Town of 1770 regularly visit Bustard Head, however Rodd's Peninsula is accessible only by private boat. The western section of the park is rugged and extremely difficult to reach.
