The Yuraygir National Park is the largest coastal park in New South Wales and one of the most diverse bioregions in the country. From age-old coastal landforms, littoral rainforest, eucalypt forest, woodland and wetlands, you can see it all in Yuraygir National Park. The National Park is home to the stunning Yuraygir Coastal Track which follows the footsteps of the ancient coastal emus that once thrived in the park.

We walk southwards taking in the sweeping and ever-changing views. The park is home to an abundance of Australian native wildlife. As you walk keep an eye out for kangaroos, white-bellied sea eagles, yellow-tailed black cockatoos, emus and whales. Carrying only a day pack, you'll walk along pristine beaches, cross creeks and rock hop across multiple small and remote beaches. Each night you will stay in beautifully appointed and comfortable canvas tents with real mattress beds, organic cotton sheets and cosy quilts. With one river to cross by boat, deserted beaches and spectacular headlands to discover, your guide will take you on an adventure to remember.

This morning you will be picked up from a designated location in Yamba at around 9am for the short drive to Angourie where the walk will commence at 9:30am. Alternatively, please advise in advance if you wish to self-drive to Angourie (local parking is available - 10min drive from Yamba). The walk begins at Angourie, where guides meet the group for a full briefing before heading south along Angourie Beach. The first of many whale watching opportunities comes at Durrangan Lookout before the path continues to Shelley Beach, crossing vast sand dunes and springwater creeks along the way. The afternoon arrival at the pristine Lake Arragan is one of the trip's first big moments — the campsite sits in a beautiful setting beside the lake, perfectly set up and ready with afternoon tea waiting. After settling into your canvas tent accommodation, dinner is served around the campfire as the first camp night begins. Walking distance: 13km, 4-5 hours. Overnight: Lake Arragan, Yuraygir National Park. *You will need to bring your own lunch for today. We recommend purchasing something in Yamba before your pick up this morning.

The day begins with the walk's most memorable moment of transition: a river crossing by boat. From the far bank, the longest beach section of the trip stretches south along Sandon Beach toward Illaroo. Halfway through the day, the route leaves the shore and joins the back trail through coastal woodlands, where guides set up a shaded picnic lunch. The afternoon walk into Illaroo Campground is easy and pleasant. The evening is spent around the campfire while our chef will prepare dinner. Walking distance: 11km, 3-4 hours. Overnight: Illaroo, Yuraygir National Park.

Meals:  B,L,D

After another warm and comfortable night sleep, our chefs will prepare a tasty breakfast with locally sourced produce and Byron Bay grown coffee beans. If you're an early riser today is a great opportunity to get up early and watch the sunrise over the ocean. The walk today is the most visually varied day. The morning route meanders through paperbark woodland where emus are occasionally spotted, before exploring the coves, mangroves and marine life around Wilsons Head. After a river crossing at Wooli we make our way across pebbly beaches to the most challenging section of the walk over rocky platforms towards Station Creek. A short walk through the sand dunes takes us to our camp for the night Walking distance: 18km, 5-6 hours. Overnight: Station Creek, Yuraygir National Park

Meals:  B,L,D
