The Umina Beach Wildflower Walk is a gentle 4km loop nestled in the bushland above Umina Beach on the Central Coast. This trail is renowned for its vibrant display of native wildflowers, including waratahs, grevilleas, and banksias, especially during late winter and early spring.

Beyond the floral spectacle, the walk offers glimpses of Aboriginal rock engravings depicting figures such as a man, whale, and stingrays, adding a cultural dimension to the natural beauty.

The path meanders through open heath and sandstone outcrops, providing occasional views toward the water and Lion Island.

Best done in cooler weather at the end of August / beginning of September to get the best wildflowers.

A picture book for when there is no toilet for miles

The quieter tracks have no toilets. The Bush Wee is my read aloud picture book for children aged 2 to 7 that turns needing to go in the bush into the funniest part of the day, and teaches which leaves to use and which stinging ones to avoid.
