Currawinya National Park
Prepare to be awestruck by the lakes, rivers and wetlands of this stunning national park. This area is one of Australia’s most important waterbird habitats. It’s also home to our ‘Aussie’ easter bunny, the endangered Bilby. If you’re keen on history, then you should visit the old Caiwarro Homestead site at the northern end of the park.
TOP EXPERIENCE
Follow dusty tracks to peaceful waterholes and the magnificence of massive inland lakes. Throw in a line along the Paroo River or go for a paddle and see some of the 100 000 waterbirds who visit the park each year.
WHAT’S SPECIAL
Lake Wyara and Lake Numalla are two large lakes separated by only a few kilometres of sand dunes. Lake Numalla is freshwater. The slightly larger Lake Wyara is saline. The best time for capturing that perfect picture of arid zone wildlife is early mornings.
BEST WALK
For stunning views over the whole park, walk to a small outcrop of granite called The Granites. It’s located 10 km north of Ten Mile Bore on the Boorara Road.
CAMPING
You can bush camp at Ourimperee waterhole behind the Woolshed (close to flushing toilets and a bush shower), or at several sites on the Paroo River near Caiwarro Homestead site.
GETTING THERE
Drive approximately 170 km south-west of Cunnamulla then turn towards Hungerford 4 km west of Eulo. Travel by 4WD is recommended. Make sure you fuel up and take good supplies of food and water.
