Coastal wilderness

There is a stretch of coast spanning over 100km fused with wild, natural bush which makes up an expanse known simply as Coastal Wilderness. Diverse ecosystems make this place so special. Combining rugged coastline with crisp sea spray and golden sand. Flowing river systems which weave the land bringing fish species, waterlife and marine flora and a touch of hinterland just for something different. But it must be doing something right, as the 300+ bird species and 1000+ native plant species can be found thriving within the coastal wilderness of the UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve of Croajingolong National Park.
