Route Maps
Boardwalk Stage 1 will create a direct route from the Council-owned vacant lot at 150 Orana Rd to the eastern end of Bindaree Way. The path will then continue behind the shopping centre to the Ocean Shores Tavern. This will result in a safe and accessible off-road connection that avoids the steep hill over Yengarie Way and Orana Rd.
Boardwalk Stage 2 will continue from the Ocean Shores Tavern along the western shore of Marshalls Creek to the Brunswick River Picnic Area neat the Oyster Farm. This route then continues via the existing road on the north side of the Brunswick River and onto Brunswick Heads via existing paths.

Byron Shire Bike Plan
Byron Shire Shire Council
The Byron Shire Bike Plan includes all the components of the Marshalls Creek Boardwalk with preliminary costings.
The Welcome Walk
Hunter Wetlands National Park
A 1km long raised boardwalk meanders within the Hunter River estuary and popular for water-bird watching and spotting aquatic plants and grasses within this saltmarsh ecosystem.
Mangrove Walk
Cullendulla Creek Nature Reserve
A 2.4km loop through the mangroves partly on an elevated walkway offering great birdwatching which is best done at low tide. There are information boards found along the way with information on the many interesting features, some of which are found no where else.
Merimbula Boardwalk
Bega Valley Shire Council
Merimbula Boardwalk meanders around the lake shore and through mangrove forests, under eucalyptus canopies and past pristine oyster farms. It’s approximately 3.4 kilometres return and will take around 1.5 leisurely hours to complete.
Urunga Boardwalk
Bellinger State Park
Considered one of the best boardwalks on the east coast, the one-kilometre Urunga Boardwalk starts in town, before following the Kalang River to the junction of the Bellinger River and continuing onto the ocean. A shorter diversion crosses the Urunga Wetlands, teeming with birdlife including pelicans, white-faced herons and osprey.
