This walk is best taken early in
the day during the summer
months.
Head from Burleigh Head
Information Centre on the Gold
Coast Hwy, cross the road to Ikkina Street (Koala Park)
Option 1: You
can take a left and follow the
road around to Awoonga Ave
(runs into Elanora Drive) and
enjoy the scenic route along
Tallebudgera Creek.
Option 2: Keep
going straight till you arrive
at Elanora Drive. Following
Elanora Drive to your right till
you come to Pindari, take a left
on Pindari and following the
street around it's a bit of a
climb but worth it. This street
now becomes Ocean Parade.
The road curves around to reveal
on your left a sign,
'Tallebudgera Creek conservation
Park' if you come to Vantage
Point Drive you have gone too
far! ( I had trouble seeing the
entrance while driving)
Option 3: or take
the easy way out and drive to
the start of the walk, there is
limited parking. (Ocean Parade)
Option 4: Start at
Fleays
Wildlife Park plenty of
parking and on the way back you
can enjoy a few hours at the
Wildlife Park and have a meal in
their Cafe.
Tallebudgera Creek Conservation
Park Walk
This is a scenic walk which
changes from stunning views of
Tallebudgera Creek revealing
deserted sand islands to dense
mangroves.
Birdlife is prolific with
screaming
sulphur-crested cockatoos
overhead, some stretches of the
walk you could believe you were
in some deserted location and
nobody was around.
If you stand quietly... and just
listen you can imagine what it
would have been like for the
early settlers and the
local Kombumerri
/ Bunjalung people who then
inhabited this area.
