Myall Lakes NP Beach Driving

Please Note: This trip is now full, but please contact Peter to be added to the waitlist.

About three hours north of Sydney is Myall Lakes NP, between Hawks Nest and Seal Rocks. For an $8 day pass, you can drive two beaches, one to Little Gibber and the other to Big Gibber. This trip will hit both these beaches.

On Saturday, we’ll meet in Hawks Nest at 10am, making sure everyone has a beach pass, and then drive to Little Gibber. We’ll spend a couple of hours there, with a lazy lunch, a walk around the headland, and the usual beach activities like swimming or at least testing the water, lying about, even fishing. If it is a bit windy, we can walk over the headland to the sheltered side. Back to our accommodation in the afternoon for a walk along Jimmy’s Beach or even Yacaaba Headland for the fit types, and a pub/club dinner for those interested.

Sunday is a repeat, but to Big Gibber. This is a longer drive in softer sand, but both days have been scheduled so we’ve got low tides. Once we are all off the beach, it’s time to head home.

You will of course need to have done the Sand Driver training course, have a tyre gauge and compressor, plus recovery gear – a snatch strap, shackles and spade at a minimum, but extra points for recovery boards or a winch. The trip will be limited to six vehicles. And as we are in a NP, no pets please.

Accommodation: Caravan Park in Hawks Nest – cabin, powered or unpowered sites available.

Contact Peter for details and to register for the trip.

Please note: Not suitable for Evoque or Freelander vehicles
