Kinkuna National Park
Kinkuna National Park preserves a wilderness area of coastal vegetation and wide, unspoilt beaches, just 30 kilometres south of Bundaberg. Part of the Burrum Coast National Park which also incorporates both Woodgate and Burrum River National Park, Kinkuna is part of the Great Sandy Region, of which Fraser Island is best known. Kinkuna offers a true coastal wilderness experience for Four Wheel Driving or hiking. Sand tracks lead through the predominantly flat landscape dense with vegetation and along the oceanfront and the beach is also suitable for Four Wheel Driving.
Kinkuna National Park is renown for its springtime wildflower displays. The vegetation of coastal heath and banksias grows in poor, sandy soils either swampy or very dry and as is often the case, these type of areas put on a spectacular wildflower show - where it seems every bush and tree is covered in pale blossoms of white, pink and yellow hues. August to October is the peak time to view these wildflowers here, in Woodgate National Park and also just to the north at the Coonarr Wildflower Reserve. Kangaroos and wallabies, emus and abundant birdlife are features of the park.
Wilderness camping is permitted in two designated areas atop the dunes and shaded by she-oak casuarinas. Campers must be fully self sufficient as there are no facilities at all in the park. Nearest water, food and fuel supplies are at Woodgate Beach or back towards Bundaberg itself. Please check with the Queensland Parks & Wildlife Service contact listed for park and track conditions and camping permits. Access into the park for day visits is free, camping requires a permit - available at self registration desks located at either the Bundaberg/Coonarr or Woodgate entrances to the park. Bookings during school holidays and at Christmas are required.
