Coastal Forest and sand hills

After the Heads there is Native Forest...Burrum Coast National Park

Burrum River Section

Access to the southern section of the park, the Burrum River Section, is via the Bruce Highway — exit at Torbanlea or Howard. From these towns travel via the Burrum Heads Road to the park (about 15km). The park is on both sides of the Burrum Heads Road just before Burrum Heads township.

Covering 23,100 hectares, Burrum Coast National Park protects 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 Eucalyptus hallii. Burrum Coast National Park is the perfect place to appreciate the splendour and peace of the natural environment.
