About this place
What to expect
Located between Port Macquarie and Wauchope on the NSW mid-north coast, Burrawan State Forest is home to 'Old Bottlebutt', a grand and ancient Red Bloodwood (Corymbia gummifera) tree. The biggest recorded example of it's species in the world, Old Bottlebutt is unique in its shape, its large flared 'butt' having a massive girth of more than 16 metres just above its base. Old Bottlebutt is the main feature on a beautiful 600 metre loop walking track through remnant rainforest, beginning and ending at the Burrawan picnic area. Old Bottlebutt is a special place, with seating on the viewing deck for visitors to relax and enjoy the sounds of nature. From the Pacific Highway heading north, take the Bago Road turn-off. Turn right onto Internal Break Road and follow the signs. Old Bottlebutt is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week including public holidays.
