Description
Byfield's parks and forests form the southern-most tip of one of the largest undeveloped regions on Australia's east coast. Byfield National Park boasts outstanding coastal scenery and diverse plant communities. Behind the foreshore, sand dunes cloaked with heath, woodland and forest dominate the landscape. Massive parabolic dunes, the oldest reaching five-six kilometres inland, occupy most of the southern part.
Freshwater Creek track is located at the northern end of Nine Mile Beach and set beside Byfield National Park's only permanently flowing coastal creek. This short track leads to a freshwater pool perfect for a refreshing dip and a shady picnic spot set under casurinas in the foredunes. Interpretive signs along the way explain the natural values of this coastal creek.

Other Information
How To Get There:Byfield National Park is 12 kilometres past Water Park Creek via Byfield State Forest. The 15 kilometre soft sand track from the park boundary to Nine Mile Beach requires a four-wheel-drive and sand driving experience. Freshwater Creek is 400 metres south of Nine Mile Access Track.
Visit during the cooler parts of the day and at low tide to avoid being stranded on the beach. Avoid periods after heavy rain as vehicle access tracks may be cut by flooded creeks.
