Wooli’s always great for fishing – but for one week in August each year, it’s busier than any other week in winter and fishing is all anyone talks about.

The annual Wooli Snapper Challenge, now in its 7th year, is an increasingly popular fishing competition that draws anglers from far and wide.

Most holiday houses are booked long in advance, and the owners of holiday units, cabins and caravan parks recommend booking early to secure a place.

Photos of 4-day Yuraygir Coastal Walk now online

February 18, 2013 By

We are pleased to let you know that 4 new photo galleries are now available on our site, featuring a total of more than 100 photos of the Yuraygir Coastal Walk.

The signposted 65-km walk is a unique 4-day route traversing Yuraygir National Park – the longest stretch of protected coastline in NSW.

Day 1 goes from Angourie to Brooms Head, day 2 from Brooms Head to Illaroo campground (Minnie Water), day 3 from Illaroo too Wooli and day 4 from Wooli to Red Rock.

The walk reaches places that are only accessible on foot.

We have noticed there is a lot of interest  in the nature, coastline, wildlife, views and general Yuraygir Coastal Walk environment and experience, but understand not everyone is able to tackle the 4-day walk themselves.

That is why we have uploaded a photo gallery for each of the 4 sections of the walk, with a selection of images taken when a small group did the walk in October 2012.
