HUSKISSON'S NEW MANGROVE BOARDWALK

Constructed from sustainable materials designed to withstand weather and tidal conditions, the 1.4km elevated path allows visitors a closer look at the mangroves, birds and sea creatures living in this beautiful patch of marine sanctuary.

Twelve interpretive signs along the walk provide an insight into the unique ecology and cultural significance of the area, with seating along the path making the perfect place to take a break. At 1.8m wide, the accessible path extends out into Currambene Creek, offering views of passing boats, across to the trees lining Callala Beach and over to the Huskisson foreshore and Round the Bay Walking Track.

An innovative ‘top-down’ construction method was employed, allowing heavy equipment to use completed sections of the boardwalk to drive piles and build from above, minimising the impact on the surrounding mangroves.

"Built in 1988, the original boardwalk gave visitors to Huskisson an up-close look at this environmental and culturally significant mangrove area. The new wider accessible walkway will ensure safer experience for visitors of all abilities looking to explore wonders of the mangroves," explains Minister for Regional NSW Tara Moriarty.
