Walks, Wildlife and Flora in Bundjalung National Park, NSW.

Ten Mile Beach, Bundjalung National Park, NSW.

While camping at Bundjalung National Park we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful walks and wildlife.

Jerusalem Creek Walk: 8 km return from Booroora Picnic Area, Grade 3.
Emu Loop 2 km, Grade 3.

The Booroora Picnic Area is at the northern end of Black Rocks Campground. There is a car park, an information board, toilets, sheltered tables and gas barbeques at the picnic area. The Emu Loop is a shorter loop of 2 km but we chose to do the Jerusalem Creek walk and add the unwalked section of the Emu Loop on our return. 

Jerusalem Creek Walk

Junction of the Emu Loop  and Jerusalem Creek Walk.

Jerusalem Creek

The track is an easy sandy trail suitable for the whole family. The track follows Jerusalem Creek until it emerges into the ocean. We met a local who told us that he often sees echidnas on the dunes. While we didn't see any echidnas we did see swamp wallabies and quite a variety of birds. 

There are several side tracts over the dunes that overlook Ten Mile Beach. Each stretch of beach has views of interesting black rock formations.

Mibanban Trail

The entry to the trail is opposite the Dump Point at the entry to the campground. We walked the trail at midday as I was hoping to see some reptiles but although we didn't see any reptiles we did see more swamp wallabies and plenty of bird life. As it was spring the trail was covered in wildflowers.
