Starting from Saltwater Picnic Area, this one way trail in Saltwater National Park takes you to the Khappinghat Nature Reserve. You'll find Aboriginal heritage and plenty of opportunities for swimming and fishing. Let us begin by acknowledging the Biripi & Worimi people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
