Cape St George Lighthouse

Welcome everyone, this is Booderee. Or in the local Dhurga language, Walawaani Njindjiwan Njin Booderee.

 

Booderee is home to one of Australia’s most stunning national parks.

Crystal-clear waters meet beautiful white sand beaches, while high cliffs and historic relics overlook the majestic Pacific Ocean.

Booderee National Park features extraordinary native wildlife and is adorned with expansive botanic gardens.

 

Visiting the Park

 

You need a park pass to experience the natural and cultural marvels of Booderee National Park.

Planning on staying in the park? Booderee offers beachside campgrounds nestled among pristine native bushland.

Campsites fill up fast during peak periods, so we suggest booking early to avoid missing out.

Cape St George Lighthouse

The ruined Cape St George Lighthouse is perched on the edge of spectacular cliffs between Booderee National Park and the sea. The lighthouse lookout offers stunning sea and cliff views - a fantastic place to watch whale migrations (June to July and September to November).

 

It is heritage-listed and the most significant European historic site in Booderee National Park. In the 19th century, shipwrecks were numerous along the Wreck Bay coast. Unfortunately, the Cape St George Lighthouse did not halt the shipping toll. It was replaced by Point Perpendicular Lighthouse in 1898 and destroyed in the early 20th century.

 

Booderee National Park is owned by the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community. Enjoy your stay in beautiful Booderee and please care for the land and waters, as this is a very special place. Entrance to the lighthouse is free but subject to Booderee National Park entry fees (see web site for details).
