    Notice of 1080 ground baiting program

    NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting an ongoing ground baiting program from Tuesday 21 July 2026 to Monday 21 December 2026. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of foxes.

    The program will take place in:

    - Comerong Island Nature Reserve

    - Conjola National Park

    - Meroo National Park

    - Murramarang National Park

    - Narrawallee Creek Nature Reserve

    - Seven Mile Beach National Park.

    The program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, especially nesting threatened shorebird species.

    Signs will be placed at the entry to the baiting location. Domestic pets are not permitted in NSW National Parks managed lands. Pets and working dogs may be affected (1080 is lethal to cats and dogs). Pets and working dogs must be restrained or muzzled in the vicinity and must not enter the baiting location. In the event of accidental poisoning seek immediate veterinary assistance.

    Penalties apply for non-compliance. For further information call the NPWS Nowra area office on 02 4428 6300.

About

Pretty Beach to Pebbly Beach walking track is a great walk to exercise the body and refresh the mind. This long bush walk leads the forest hinterland of the central region of Murramarang National Park. It combines the beauty of the beaches and forests of this unspoilt South Coast region.

The grasslands near Pretty Beach are popular with kangaroos so make sure you bring a camera. You’ll soon be climbing steeply up Durras Mountain where forests of spotted gum mingle with coachwood and lillypilly. There’s ocean glimpses through the trees and perhaps even the cooing of the wonga pigeon.

You may arrive at Pebbly Beach to a welcoming party of kangaroos. Either way, the panoramic coastal views, with its turquoise waters, will be worth the effort. Cool off with a swim in the crystal clear ocean before tucking into a beachside picnic. If you’re feeling adventurous, make your way back via the picturesque Snake Bay and Clear Point.
