Booderee National Park

'Booderee' is an Aboriginal word from the Dhurga language meaning 'bay of plenty' or 'plenty of fish'.

Booderee is owned by the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community and has always been a significant place for Koori people. It has provided sustenance and shelter for its Indigenous inhabitants over hundreds of generations.

A major visitor destination, Booderee has stunning white beaches and offers a wide range of recreational activities, including walking trails, surfing, fishing, camping, boating, sailing, snorkeling and diving. Our large campsites provide opportunities for school groups and families to stay in the park and experience our magnificent natural and cultural heritage.
