Meroo National Park

Meroo National Park is a recent addition to the Australian National Parks system.

Its history as a State Forest that was home to a campsite with picturesque beaches and stunning bushland adds to its beauty and natural charm. The park suffered greatly from bushfires over a decade ago, leading to its designation as a national park to preserve its beauty and allow for natural regeneration.

Meroo National Park offers a variety of activities for nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts. Visitors can swim in beachside tidal rock pools and hike along bushland tracks. The park is home to various sea creatures, making it an excellent spot for children to explore. Certain areas of the park are fenced off to prevent erosion and sustain the natural bushland. New rules and regulations have been introduced to protect native fauna and flora. The reduction of the campsite area has helped in the natural regeneration of the indigenous bushland. The park's wildlife population, including wallabies and possums, is increasing, and the sounds of native birds contribute to a serene atmosphere.

Meroo National Park is important for conservation as it is home to 12 endangered wildlife species and the nationally endangered green and golden bell frog. It is also part of the Ulladulla to Merimbula Important Bird Area, identified by BirdLife International for the swift parrot. The park's average elevation of 55 meters above sea level adds to its natural grandeur.

With its diverse range of activities, Meroo National Park is the perfect destination for a relaxed but adventurous day trip or camping getaway. Come visit and immerse yourself in the natural enchantment of this stunning South Coast National Park.
