Wingham Brush Nature Reserve

Thursday Open 24 hours Open today, Open 24 hours

Wingham Brush boardwalk and nearby walking tracks provide a gateway from which to discover the incredible world of plants, birds and flying foxes in the rainforest. The wheelchair friendly boardwalk is suitable for all ages, and connects with Graham Allen and Regenerators walking tracks.

Continue along Flying Fox circuit and you’ll find yourself standing directly under the flying foxes' roosting site. Learn something new from the signage along the way, or just admire the gigantic Moreton Bay fig, stinging, and white cedar trees. Keep your eyes out for land mullets and brush turkeys in the undergrowth and listen for the distinct calls of the green catbird and wompoo fruit-dove.

Why not pack a picnic, make a day of it and enjoy picnicking, swimming and fishing at the adjacent Wingham River Park? Then, sit by the banks of the river and watch the flying foxes flying out at sunset.

Wingham Brush Nature Reserve near Taree on the Mid-North Coast, makes a great family day trip or school excursion. See flying foxes, enjoy bird watching and easy walking in the rain forest. Wingham Brush boardwalk connects several walking tracks for a wheelchair friendly experience in the rainforest. Enjoy birdwatching and see a grey-headed flying fox roosting site.

Great slice of old growth rainforest with flat tracks suitable to wheelchairs or mobile limited people. As soon as you get close the smells and sounds engulf you and you lose the sense of the city. Plenty of wildlife for kids to wow at and with toulets,benches and cook ateas would make a nice picnic.

It's such a lovely spot to have a little stop. Have a picnic lunch then jump in the river to cool down. Take a peaceful stroll through the bush and you may come across a wild turkey or 2.
