About Mimosa Rocks National Park

 

Mimosa Rocks National Park is a coastal protected area located approximately 30 kilometers south of Bega in New South Wales, Australia. The park stretches across diverse landscapes including sandy beaches, rocky headlands, heathlands, and eucalyptus forests, providing vital habitat for native wildlife and plants. It spans a coastline rich with natural beauty, featuring dramatic ocean views and sheltered coves. The park is ecologically significant for its coastal heath and forest ecosystems which support species like the eastern bristlebird and the yellow-bellied glider. The area's indigenous heritage is reflected in its connection to the Yuin people, traditional custodians of the land. Recreational activities emphasize walking and beachcombing, with a network of trails including the popular Mimosa Rocks Coastal Walking Track that allows visitors to experience scenic headlands and pristine beaches. Camping is available at designated sites such as Middle Beach and Goalen Head campgrounds, which provide a rustic experience close to nature. Birdwatching and fishing are popular along the coast, while the relative quietness of the park offers a peaceful retreat. Visitors are attracted by the combination of coastal wilderness and opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, and picnicking. The park is managed to balance recreation with conservation, ensuring protection of its diverse plant communities and wildlife habitats. Its mix of tranquil beaches, rugged shores, and native forests make it an excellent destination for exploring the Australian South Coast outdoors.
