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:
“In my public statements I have earnestly urged that there rested upon government many responsibilities which affect the moral and spiritual welfare of our people. The participation of women in elections has produced a keener realization of the importance of these questions and has contributed to higher national ideals. Moreover, it is through them that our national ideals are ingrained in our children.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“Mrs. Mirvan says we are not to walk in [St. James’s] Park again next Sunday ... because there is better company in Kensington Gardens; but really, if you had seen how every body was dressed, you would not think that possible.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
