The delightfully named Minnie Water is
a small coastal village completely surrounded by the
Yuraygir National Park. The village is a
picture when the Christmas Bells or the Flannel Flowers bloom in the
surrounding parklands. Over 120 species of wildflower have been
identified around Minnie Water.
There are two short but picturesque
walks in the national park: Angophora Grove Walk and Rocky Point
Walk. The rock platforms
extending seawards to Rocky Point offer hours of entertainment for
those who enjoy examining the microcosm of marine life in tidal
pools and rock crevices. Sea urchins, star fish, cunjevoi, coral and
a variety of sponges and shells may be found in this area.
Minnie Lagoon is a very popular and
beautiful spot for swimming, picnics and safe boat launchings. To
find this spot, turn into Hiawatha Road, then left at Pipers Hill
following the Waratah Reserve along to the Tree of Knowledge Lookout
where there is a steep sealed road down to the lagoon.
If you want to enjoy the tranquil coastal charm of Minnie Water,
there is a caravan park
at the entrance to the village and
holiday units
available. |
