Yuraygir National Park is adjacent to Minnie Water Village and has more beaches to explore.
There is Skate park down the road in Wooli (14kms away), go for brekkie at the Wooli Cafe or a swim in the pristine Wooli River -
Don't miss the Minnie Water shop for a great coffee, treat, burger or basic you might have forgotten.
A 40 minute drive brings you to Grafton - shops, coffee, movies & Jacarandas.

Enjoy night stars, the dark. the abundant birds life, if your lucky you might see the rare costal emus or a roo. A hike on the local section Yuraygir Coastal Walk brings views, whale watching & a plethora of flora and fauna - the headland walks bring nature to you - it's paradise.
