Best times to visit
There are lots of great things waiting for you in Conjola National Park. Here are some of the highlights.
Autumn
As the temperature cools slightly, this a great time to get active in the park with some bushwalking and mountain biking.
Spring
The wildflowers – waratahs and wattle among them – are in full bloom, bringing with them large numbers of birds. You might even be lucky enough to spot the rare Scalet Honeyeater or Little Lorikeet.
Summer
Hot weather means plenty of time for the beach and water. Keep an eye open for the endangered hooded plover and other shorebirds foraging on the sand.
Winter
The light is clear and beautiful and the beaches and trails very quiet – just the thing if you prefer exploring with few other people around.
