Lake Munmorah State Recreation Area is located between Wyong and Swansea, just north of Budgewoi on the beautiful New South Wales Central Coast.
A few snaps from Lake Munmorah State Recreation Area – Deadman’s Beach, near Frazer Campground by Tim Gilbert. He said it was well worth the early morning walk.
There are lots of picnic areas and lookouts. It is also a spot for rock fishing and whale watching in the season. Walks include:
The Moonee Beach trail is 4 km return – Grade 2 walk. It is south of Catherine Hill Bay – with beautiful views over Timber, Ghosties and Moonee Beaches.
Palms Circuit Track – 1.5 km return walk, shaded by cabbage tree plams. It is accessed by the Palms Picnic Area.
Melaleuca Track (Birdie Creek and Coast tracks) are 7.2 km one way, via swamp/sedgeland paperbark forest, scribbly gums and coastal heath. Enjoy views of Norah Head and Bird Island before you finish at Frazer Beach.
Bring hat, water, sunscreen, binoculars, snorkelling gear and togs! If you walk in early spring or late winter, expect to see wildflowers on the heath.
