Mimosa Rocks National Park

Natural volcanic sculptures appear everywhere among the rugged coastal headlands, cliffs and rock stacks on the New South Wales south coast.

Whether you're coming from Tathra in the south, or Bermagui in the north, you can get to the park from the main Tathra-Bermagui Road. Side roads will take you to all areas of the park. Roads in the park are unsealed but suitable for 2WD cars. Roads are narrow and winding, and may become slippery after rain.


Mimosa Rocks National Park had modest beginnings in 1973, when 628 hectares of coast between Picnic Point and Bunga Head were gazetted. The area has grown since then, with land added to the park from a number of sources. Some was purchased under the Coastal Lands Protection Scheme, some was former Crown reserve, and other areas were donated by the late Sir Roy Grounds, the late Ken Myer and his wife Yasuko Myer, and by Professor David Yencken, who later became President of the Australian Conservation Foundation. The upper catchment of Nelson Lagoon, which makes up the south-west part of the park, was formerly part of the Tanja West State Forest. It was added in April 1982 after a long history of management for timber production. Several other areas of the park were also formerly state forest.
