Minnamurra Rainforest

Minnamurra Rainforest in Budderoo National Park is located on the South Coast of New South Wales, approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes drive from Sydney CBD. The rain forest is a must visit, with the experience of unique wildlife, raised boardwalks, mysterious pathways and amazing vertical spaces with diffused sunlight that will uplift your senses.

The Park is free entry, although there is a $12 AUD parking entry fee for each vehicle, per day. We decided to purchase an annual pass, so that we could visit some other national parks this year. There are BBQ’s and picnic tables or you have the option of buying food at the cafe, although we decided to pack our lunch and water.

The breathtaking terrain is kept moist resulting in diverse vegetation. . The escarpment helps to protect from the dry westerly wind

The canopy also helps keep the terrain moist and enables the flora to thrive.

Wow, looks amazing. I have been to a national park in qld but not sure of the name. May have been the same spot. There was a quarry where people jumped off a massive cliff face.

Very beautiful, I spend most of my time in western Australian, I did visit Queensland and some of the rainforest there. Where I am is quiet barren, oh I miss the green forests. Thanks for sharing @imperialaussie

Yes, rainforests in australia are very lush and green. I will be visiting more soon and will continue to share my journeys :) thanks for your upvote and comment.

Great work!

Do you live down this way or did you come to visit? Hayley and I live in Wollongong and have been through the rainforest at least once together. The waterfall at the end of one of the walks is gorgeous!

Glad you're a part of team Australia!

Take care,
Nick.

I appreciate your kind words and glad to be part of teamaustralia ;) I live in the shire in sydney. I was planning to move to Bulli, although too far from work. My best friend moved to Port Kembla and I visit all the time.

It was a shame as a segment of the waterfall platform was closed off for maintenance. I will return to the waterfall soon after it rains. I am sure it is a place that will transform with the weather :)

Those boardwalk things make everything so easy! And those bridge walks would be amazing. I never trust the average time things, they only time how long it takes to walk from point A to point B without stopping XD

The bridges really suited the environment being timber and steel. Indiana jones style bridges without the breaking timber planks ;) I actually got into trouble from the mrs for jumping up and down, shaking the bridge ;)
