We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Nob Creek Pottery in the Byfield NP. They had an amazing display of beautiful pottery throughout a number of areas. The colours and designs of the pottery pieces were unique. Many items featured the Byfield fern which grows in this area. Sue McBurnie was most helpful with information about the pottery being sold. You can walk out the back and see the massive kiln and have a nice stroll through to the toilet facilities which feature huge handmade washbasins. We will treasure the pottery we bought that day.

This water was magical at Upper Stones Creek in the Byfield National Park so blue and fresh! Great place for a picnic and a nice small walk is there, the longer circuit was closed so hopefully it opens again in the future. Great place to go! “Jonique Life” Follow our journey around Australia on Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok and YouTube as we highlight wonderful experiences and magical places you can add to your ever growing bucket list.

Most reviews on TripAdvisor are about Byfield State Forest & Conservation Park adjoining National Park. Byfield National Park's main section is challenging, interesting, and exciting from the very beginning – Big Sandy – long (about 1km), steep, very fine sand dune at the park entrance like a sentinel, guarding it. Apparently it is a local trend among young people with “L” and “P” plates to get through the challenge of Big Sandy. There is no way around this obstacle if you want to see National Park. You will need High clearance 4WD and to know what to do with it to get through :) Nine Mile Beach is one of the highlights of the Park - fantastic drive, awesome views, and also the road to campsites. There are 4 campsites along the beach with no toilets and no fresh water available, so you need to be self-sufficient. Officially campsite must be pre-booked online before you arrive. We did just that to find on arrival 8 groups of people with more than 10 cars already happily camping on officially max 12 people camping areas (Pandanus). It was too late to look for other options and the tide was rising, so we had to camp almost on the road. The next day many people left their belongings on the campsites "staking their claim" while spending the day exploring the park, fishing etc. Some people departed leaving behind bags with rubbish. On the official park camp. booking page out of "Capacity 2" campsites 1 was booked when we were placing our booking. Obviously, most people just turned up, stayed as long as they wanted, and left rubbish behind. That was very disappointing, to see that side of "human nature". We have seen a lot of wildlife in the Park, especially snakes and sea birds chicks. Easy drive to Stockyard Point rewards visitors with beautiful vistas. The track onto Five Rocks Beach equals in a challenge with Big Sandy exceeding it with duration but well worth the efforts. Byfield is a beautiful place with lots of challenging scenic drives and walks

Located at the historic Water Park Farm, Water Park Eco Tours have an eco friendly Tea Tree plantation situated at the base of the Byfield Range on the banks of the amazing Water Park Creek. Embark on the Water Dance, a six metre electrically powered vessel licensed for 15 passengers for a magnificent guided voyage down the beautiful rain forest of Water Park Creek in complete silence taking in the amazing array of wildlife. All aboard the safari bus for a first hand look at the farm and learn of its great history and characters.
