Hike overview
Leading through a delightful array of unspoilt coastal forests and waterways, the natural beauty of Narrawallee Inlet walking track is bound to enliven the senses and revive the spirit. Situated in Narrawallee Creek Nature Reserve, north of Ulladulla, this moderate walk is ideal for birdwatchers, cyclists and bushwalkers who love to get away from it all.
As you wind through the forest on foot or mountain bike, be sure to look out for the ancient burrawang palms that hark back to the times of the dinosaurs. The majestic swamp mahogany is an important food source for the threatened swift parrot and regent honeyeater.
Don't forget the binoculars as the remote beaches and pristine wetlands attract a huge variety of waterbirds including the hooded plover, pied oystercatcher and little tern. For more birdwatching spots, check out nearby Pattimores Lagoon.
