Russells Rest Track
Burrum Coast National Park
Menu
Reward yourself with a picnic and endless ocean and estuary views at the end of this pretty walk.
After you’ve set up camp in the Burrum Point camping area, pack a picnic and meander through cypress pine and tea-trees to a small rest area on the beach. Soak up endless views of the ocean and the Burrum and Gregory river mouths.
Unwind to the sound of the wind in the trees and watch brahminy kites circle overhead. Look for shorebirds—resting here during long migratory flights. If you visiting during winter, keep your eyes glued to the horizon, you might be lucky enough to see whales breaching and playing in the offshore waters of the Great Sandy Marine Park.
Getting there
