A series of lagoons is separated by the sand hills of Young husband Peninsula from the Southern Ocean, a place of beauty where the only sounds are those of the sea and the cries of more than 240 species of native birds many that migrate annually from Siberia, Japan and China. This natural sanctuary is a breeding ground
for giant pelicans, wild duck, shags, ibis and terns. For 6,000 years the home of the
Ngarrindjeri people, the Coorong is of Aboriginal significance and renowned for its
archaeological sites.
To camp in the Coorong contact the Dept.
of Natural Environment or your local agent. A fee applies for camping in the Coorong
area.

The Coorong, derived from an Aboriginal word karangk meaning narrow neck,
is one of the most breathtaking national parks in Australia. A long finger of land
stretching 145km from the Murray mouth to Kingston charts the Coorong.
Perfect for beach fishing, canoeing and yachting, there are beautiful camp
sites, often off the main road. A permit is needed for camping. Contact park headquarters.
All attractions are accessible by walking tracks, bush trails or 4WD marked tracks.
