Eurimbula is a national park in Queensland, Australia, 411 km north of Brisbane. The nearest town is Agnes Water.
Eurimbula consists of three separate sections. The main section is centred around Eurimbula Creek and is accessible (4WD recommended) from the main Agnes Water road. There are camping facilities at Bustard Beach near the mouth of Eurimbula Creek. Inland, a short uphill walk leads to a lookout, known as Ganoonga Noonga, with views of the coast and paperbark swamps of the park. Further north, there is another camping ground at Middle Creek, however there are no facilities here.
The northern section of the park includes Rodds Peninsula and Bustard Head and its lighthouse. Tours from the Town of 1770 regularly visit Bustard Head, however Rodds Peninsula is accessible only by private boat. The western section of the park is rugged and extremely difficult to reach.
Famous quotes containing the words national and/or park:
“Children’s lives are not shaped solely by their families or immediate surroundings at large. That is why we must avoid the false dichotomy that says only government or only family is responsible. . . . Personal values and national policies must both play a role.”
—Hillary Rodham Clinton (20th century)
“Is a park any better than a coal mine? What’s a mountain got that a slag pile hasn’t? What would you rather have in your garden—an almond tree or an oil well?”
—Jean Giraudoux (1882–1944)
