Description
A visit to Port Macquarie is not complete without a visit to Kooloonbung Creek Nature Reserve, which covers an area of approximately 52 hectares.
Situated just a five-minute walk along Horton Street from the town centre, the Reserve includes a Historic Cemetery with graves of notable early settlers of the Hastings area.
The well-maintained Historic Cemetery is a perfect place to discover the stories of early settlers of the Hastings area, take a peaceful walk, and relax in the serene surroundings. The Reserve is furnished with two walking tracks and boardwalks, allowing visitors to explore and enjoy the beauty of the area and the relevant eco-systems. There are also picnic tables, toilet facilities, and a large sculpture of a Water Dragon for young and old to appreciate.
The nature reserve is open all year round, and visitors can visit any time during the day to enjoy the serene surroundings.
The Reserve has ten entrances, and visitors using wheelchairs or motorized scooters can access most of the Park. There are only two sets of steps on Circuit One - one near the Gordon Street bridge and one between Glebe Close and Anita Crescent. Circuit Two has no steps.
Kooloonbung Creek Nature Reserve is easily accessible, located just a five-minute walk along Horton Street from the town centre of Port Macquarie, at the Gordon Street intersection. Visitors can also return to the CBD of Port Macquarie via the recently rejuvenated Kooloonbung Creek Foreshore between Gordon and Hayward Streets, linking the CBD and Nature Reserve.
