The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) has opened its newest Great Walk, inviting nature enthusiasts to spend several days enjoying the exceptional beauty of the South Coast’s Murramarang National Park.
Marking the occasion, the Minister for Environment, James Griffin said the new Murramarang South Coast Walk, between Ulladulla and Batemans Bay, was a 34-kilometre, three-day adventure.
“Murramarang National Park is outstandingly beautiful and one of the best hidden gems in the State, now featuring the longest uninterrupted coastal walk on the South Coast,” Mr Griffin said.
“This NSW Great Walk puts the South Coast on every bushwalker’s bucket list, with this new three-day, three-night experience delivering the best of the bush and the beach, with spotted-gum forests, secluded beaches and dramatic headlands,” he said.
“Starting just north of Batemans Bay at Pretty Beach, the walk has overnight stops at a choice of five beachside campgrounds within Murramarang National Park.”
Mr Griffin said that for walkers who would prefer not to camp, there were NPWS-owned beach side cabins at Pretty, Pebbly and Depot Beaches, as well as local accommodation options in coastal villages along the route.
He said visitors could also do self-guided walks of the entire route, or tackle shorter sections of track in any direction.
“The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is now taking bookings for a three-day, three-night package that includes transfers, a welcome tour, and camping or accommodation from April,” the Minister said.
