Coastal National Parks
Deepwater National Park
Long sandy beaches studded with dramatic rocky outcrops backed by an extensive dune system typify the scenery of Deepwater National Park. Palm forest with permanent deep water lagoons are home to Black Cockatoos and small marsupials. Fishing and four-wheel driving enthusiasts will discover almost 40 kms of coastline to explore. A track extending north to Agnes Water offers a great tour for 4WDrivers. Click here for a National Parks Fact Sheet.
Eurimbula National Park
An extensive area of rugged mountain ranges, wide sandy beaches and tidal waterways are preserved within Eurimbula. The site of Lt. James Cook's first landing in Queensland, flora and fauna found here has changed little since that day in May 1770. Nesting turtles during summer months are an added attraction as is the great fishing and scenic beauty. Click here for a National Parks Fact Sheet.
Rodds Peninsula National Park
A true wilderness park with access via boat or walk in from Turkey Beach. A range of scenery from coastal mangroves and lowland palm forest, dry rocky outcrops, beaches and even coral reefs mark Rodds Peninsula as a unique destination. Fishing and crabbing are popular pastimes. A Dugong Sanctuary extends from Bustard Bay north to Gladstone.
Goodnight Scrub National Park
The Goodnight Scrub preserves Australia's largest Hoop Pine forest, as well as featuring dry rainforest pockets and unusual Queensland Bottle Trees and the classic Aussie bush. The Burnett River meanders through cliffs and sandy beaches - great for swimming in summer and a lookout offers stunning views to the western mountains and across the Bundaberg plains. Kangaroos and wallabies are a common sight. The Park is approx. 1Ω hours drive south west of Bundaberg and is a pleasant place to relax in peace and quiet in the Aussie bush.
Litabella National Park
A diverse area of tea tree forest, mahogany scrub and coastal heath dotted with lagoons and billabongs, Littabella is an important wildlife habitat from encroaching horticultural development. Nearby Norval Park Beach lined with casuarinas offers fishing and 4WDriving along sand tracks and the beach. No camping is available at either Littabella National Park or Nortval Park. Walk in access only. Access is via Mullet Creek (40 minutes drive north of Bundaberg) to the National Park - off the Bundaberg - 1770 Road - or via Yandaran to Norval Park beach. Some gravel road access to Norval Park, suitable for all vehicles.
Mon Repos Conservation Park
Mon Repos Beach supports the largest Loggerhead Turtle nesting area in the South Pacific and the largest and easiest rookery to visit on mainland Australia.
Woodgate Section - Burrum Coastal National Park
Woodgate National Park features one of the regions most beautiful beaches and is a birdwatchers paradise. Extensive coastal forests and shallow 'lakes' back onto the small township of Woodgate and Kangaroos visit the local lawns and bowling greens for an easy encounter with nature. A sealed road to Walkers Point traverses the park, however access to the birdhide and camping area is by foot or 4WDrive only.
Kinkuna National Park
Just 35 kms south of Bundaberg, Kinkuna is home to stunning pristine beaches and a springtime wildflower spectacular. The nature lover, 4WDrive enthusiast and fisherman are all catered for here - as are those looking for peace and solitude - all so close to Bundaberg. A track now leads through the native wallum and heath scrub to Woodgate Beach and these parks' beach driving are a great experience!
Roundhill National Park
This prominent peak rises behind the town of Agnes Water and offers unbeatable views of the area from the summit. Emergent Hoop Pine and natural grassy 'balds' attracted the attention of Lt. James Cook who named the hill 'Round' after its obvious domed shape - visible as far south as the Kolan River and one of the only landforms visible from the Lady Musgrave Island on the Great Barrier Reef
