WWFF Darawank Nature Reserve VKFF-1923

Taking some leave from work to head up to Northern NSW and SE Quuensland, to escape the chilly Canberra winter for a while. Drove from Canberra through Sydney to stop at Forster the first night.
The next day there was some early morning rain, cleared up enough to activate a park North of Forster, Darawank Nature Reserve VKFF-1923. This park has not been activated before.

Drove to the small seaside village of Black Head, and headed South on N Boundary trail, a sandy road, that led to Tuncurry Beach.

This is an access point for 4WD driving on the beach to the South. Close up of the sign showing beach driving access.

My car is only AWD, not 4WD, and you need a to lower tyre pressure to avoid getting bogged. Plus you also need a permit...I decided to just walk into the park from here.

Just to the South of the access point a faded old sign for the park, set up next to it.

Operating spot from Protectedplanet.

Looked like rain not that far away offshore, decided to pack up before it started.
