And if you hear a soundtrack of high-pitched calls, it’s probably from the bleating tree frogs nearby. A monument to the clipper ship Walter Hood, wrecked on this south coast in 1870, can be found at Monument Beach. For a longer ride, return via Heath circuit.

Delta Track

If you’re looking to make the most out of Wandandian Creek without getting on the water in a kayak, Delta track offers a compelling reason to break out the walking shoes. Hugging the creek foreshore for 1.5 kilometres, this walk over gentle hills is a good option for families or anybody with a moderate level of fitness. Passing two small beaches as it twists through eucalypts and scrub brush, Delta track offers opportunities to fish in the creek, plus terrific birdwatching the entire way. Glossy black cockatoos have been sighted in the area. Don’t forget to look down, too - those small holes along the track are made by elusive long-nosed bandicoots. Bring a camera just in case. After completing Delta track, settle down at the picnic area for a leisurely lunch, or consider extending your walk to take in the shorter Anabranch loop track as well.

For the slightly more adventurous kayaker, Wandandian Creek can be followed right out to the open expanse of St Georges Basin, or followed upstream to beautiful rural scenery. It's a good idea to consult a map before you set out to get a sense of all possibilities. Take a virtual tour of Wandandian Creek captured with Google Street View Trekker.

Corramy Regional Park

National Parks and Reserves

Corramy Regional Park

Created in 2010, Corramy Regional Park offers visitors a natural playground in a tidy package of 292ha.

Natural Attractions

Anabranch Loop Track

One short walk is all it takes to acquaint yourself with the best of Corramy Regional Park. Anabranch loop track twists through spotted gum forest, wetlands, and along the tranquil edge of Wandandian Creek, which is popular for fishing and kayaking. The bushland it passes is largely undisturbed, making this a terrific opportunity to enjoy unadulterated nature and the best place to start any visit to the area. At only one kilometre along a gentle formed track, Anabranch loop track is accessible to nearly everyone, requiring no experience though it features several steps and can be slippery after heavy rain. Closer to the creek, the track graduates onto purpose-built boardwalk, allowing you to get right near Wandandian Creek and enjoy the native birdlife. Consider having lunch in the picnic area and then using Anabranch loop track to stretch your legs with a pair of binoculars in tow. A slightly longer and more difficult walk, Delta track, also leaves from the picnic area. Add the two together for an active day by the cool retreat of the water.

Cape St George Lighthouse, Booderee National Park — Image credit: Parks Australia

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations

Booderee National Park: Cape St George Lighthouse

The ruined Cape St George Lighthouse is perched on the edge of spectacular cliffs between Booderee National Park and the sea. The lighthouse lookout offers stunning sea and cliff views - a fantastic place to watch whale migrations (June to July and September to November). It is heritage-listed and the most significant European historic site in Booderee National Park. In the 19th century, shipwrecks were numerous along the Wreck Bay coast. Unfortunately, the Cape St George Lighthouse did not halt the shipping toll. It was replaced by Point Perpendicular Lighthouse in 1898 and destroyed in the early 20th century. Booderee National Park is owned by the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community. Enjoy your stay in beautiful Booderee and please care for the land and waters, as this is a very special place. To enter the park you’ll need a park pass, which you can pre-purchase online for quick and easy entry.

Conjola National Park

National Parks and Reserves

Conjola National Park

There aren’t many places where lakes, cascading creeks, the ocean and vast forests come together. But Conjola National Park has it all, and only 2 hours from Sydney. This natural gem has a huge range of attractions within a short distance of some of the small settlements on the south coast of NSW. A network of tracks and trails through the park can be used for cycling, bushwalking, horse riding and car touring. Those who love the water can canoe on Swan Lake or swim at Berrara Beach. Berrara is an indigenous word for ‘snapper’, so it’s a great place to throw in a fishing line in as well. For nature-lovers, Conjola is a wild paradise. During spring, wildlflowers are abundant. The park’s large variety of plant life also means there’s a huge range of animals and birds. Eastern grey kangaroos and echidnas are common, but the noisy black cockatoos are a visitor favourite.
