A stunning land reclamation project which has been turned a contaminated site into an beautiful nature based experience.
Now a wide, wheelchair-accessible boardwalk loops through the clean green space.
Its decking has been constructed using recycled plastic waste and is equivalent to nearly 2.5 million plastic bags being diverted from landfill.
The Urunga Boardwalk has to be one of the best boardwalks on the east coast, with spectacular views from the entire length of the boardwalk. Starting from the charming town of Urunga, the boardwalk passes along the banks of the Kalang River, to the junction with the Bellinger River and out to the ocean, with stunning views inland past Urunga town and up the river valleys to the Great Dividing Range, north across the rivers to Mylestom Spit and south along the beach to Picket Hill and beyond to Nambucca Heads.
The entire length of the boardwalk is wheelchair accessible. There are numerous rest areas with seating, as well as many interpretive signs along the boardwalk pointing out items of interest and telling the history of the area.
Honey Place is definitely worth a stop. Recognised by its big yellow beehive replica at the entrance.
