Space to rest, reflect and unwind.
You are invited to walk the labyrinth's 160 metres, reflecting as you wind your way to the centre, where you may sit and meditate further if you wish.
Modelled on the famous 11-circle path labyrinth embedded in the floor of the 13th-century Chartres Cathedral in France.
The labyrinth is a smaller seven-circle pattern. Seven circles, but one path. Seven is the most significant number in scripture, signifying completeness.
There are many imperfections in this labyrinth, but perhaps they may help you reflect on your own imperfections. Some of the bricks are also carrying the scars of the New Year's Eve 2019 bushfires. The handrail poles are from the railing that was all that survived the burning of St. Saviour's church at Quaama. The rail is fashioned from an old fence post, which also survived the fires.
Everyone is welcome to come and take time out, reflect, and recharge.

Sacred to the local Aboriginal Yuin People for centuries, in May 2006 Biamanga National Park was returned to its traditional custodians as part of a joint management agreement with NSW National Parks. What does this mean? It means that when you visit the park, you're visiting a place where decisions about the land are made by Aboriginal people. You're also visiting Aboriginal Country, where the mountains meet the sea and the landscape connects Aboriginal culture and lore. A visit here is both special and unique.
The first thing that strikes you is a sense of remoteness and solitude: though only 20km from the town of Bega, Biamanga National Park is a wild landscape of cascades and granite boulders, ribbon gums and gurgling creeks, not far from the Tasman Sea. Not only does the park feature Biamanga (also known as Mumbulla Mountain) and dramatic river gorges fed by natural springs, it also contains an important area of unmodified coastal foothill habitat. Environmentally speaking, a trip through Biamanga National Park is a step back in time.
