Casurina Coastal Reserve

 

 

 

This is such a lovely and beautiful  area, the beach is so long and beautiful, looking out towards the vast blue water of the Arafura Sea. <3

 

This is a reserve which protects about 1500ha of costal habitats between the estuaries of Rapid Creek and Buffalo. The Larrakia people speak for this area, so therefore it is also a sacred area.

fishing is allowed here but you can not disturb rocks or remove shellfish .

there are a few things that you can see like WWII artillery observation posts, and also Old man rock (Dariba Nunggalinya) is an important cultural site.
