There are lots of great things waiting for you in Munmorah State Conservation Area. Here are some of the highlights.

Autumn

Make the most the of the lovely temperature at this time of year and pitch the tent for a camping break by the beach.

Spring

Head out along Moonee Beach trail in late winter or early spring and you'll be rewarded with spectacular wildflower displays in the coastal heath areas.

Summer

Escape the summer heat with a walk along the Palms circuit track through the rainforest, or cool off with a swim at Frazer beach – it's patrolled during the Christmas and Easter school holidays.

Winter

The winter months are the best time to whalewatch at Munmorah – you can even follow the whales' journey and record your sightings.

Drinking water is not available so you’ll need to bring your own supply.

Picnic tables

There are accessible picnic tables set on concrete slabs at the picnic area.

The stone pathway from the carpark doesn't go to the picnic tables. You'll need to leave the pathway and cross over hard-packed ground and grass to reach them.

Barbecue facilities

There's a covered barbecue shelter set on a concrete slab at the picnic area.

• Gas/electric barbecues (free)

Carpark

Step-free access

The picnic area is mostly flat and step-free, with a stone-paved path that goes from the carpark to the barbecue shelter.

Before reaching the shelter, the pathway leads to a small arched wood bridge with a handrail on one side. You'll need to cross over the bridge to get back onto the stone-paved path.
