A beautiful day hike on the south coast of NSW, not too far from Ulladulla. This relatively short and very pretty walk follows along the south shores of Burrill Lake.
A mix of bush track and graded road. Well marked and informative information boards on the way through giving an insight into Aboriginal history in the area, bush tucker and medicine.

This trail leaves from the carpark beside Burril Beach. It makes its way around the headland past Dolphin Point Beach along the coast until heading back in to the bush and finally making it's way through the quiet streets of Dolphin Point back to the carpark.
This trail should not be walked during high tides or swell events.

The first half is through the bush on a reasonably clear trail. The second half is back over the sand and rocks. It is a pretty loop and not overly complex.
Some of the rock scrambling takes some planning, but is very doable.
At high tide or during large swell, some parts of the rocks will be impassable and you will need to backtrack and go inland. After big rains it is likely that the lakes will have breached to the beach so be prepared for wet feet.

AN enjoyable trail through the Meroo National Park, located just south of Tabourie Lake on the south coast of New South Wales. This out and back route begins from the end of Dermal Street.
The trail mostly follows small dirt roads through lovely forest taking you to pristine beaches. The trail leads you to both Termell Point Dispersed Campground and Sunburnt Beach Campground if you're looking for a nice short overnight hike.

A straightforward hike through Meroo National Park which also crosses into Termeil State Forest. The trail begins in Tabourie Lake in the South Coast region of New South Wales.
An easy walk with only some hilly sections. Usually bird song of parrots and at times bellbirds and Wonga pigeons. Always lyre bird song along the lemontree rainforest. In spring blue flag flowers, irises, hyacinth and other orchids.

This is a challenging out and back style route that begins by Meroo Head and then makes its way north to Burrill Lake. The majority of this route is along sand which can be tough going at times.
A few sections to be aware of are Termeil Creek and Lucy Kings Creek which depending on the tides and recent rainfall could become impassable.
This is a very exposed track that on a hot day will be unrelenting depending on the cloud cover. Packing plenty of sun protection, water and bite to eat...
