Spring

The critically endangered eastern suburbs banksia scrub is in flower along with other plant species that attract birds such as New Holland Honeyeaters. If you missed the winter whales heading north, there’s still a chance to spot them as they return to the food-rich Antarctic waters.

Summer

Bring your swimsuit to enjoy popular Maroubra Beach and Malabar Beach at the beginning or end of your walk in the park. If you’re planning a picnic with the family, the western section of the park offers more shade than the eastern section.

Winter

Keep an eye out for humpback whales on their annual migration, as you walk along Boora Point or Western Escarpment walking tracks. If you’re very lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the rarer southern right whale, which cruise close by the headland on their way up to tropical waters.

Picnic tables are located at Basket Swamp falls and Woollool Woolloolni Aboriginal Place and toilet facilities can be found at the camping area in Boonoo State Forest
