Dark Point Aboriginal Place
Hunter Coast, NSW
Worimi gathering place for more than 4,000 years on a Myall Lakes headland, with walking-track views across to Broughton Island.
About this place
NPWS lists Dark Point Aboriginal Place in southern Myall Lakes National Park, north of Hawks Nest. Declared an Aboriginal Place in 2002, the rocky headland has been a Worimi gathering site for over 4,000 years, with middens and traditional burial places in the area. Dark Point walking track leads to the headland and views across to Broughton Island. Stay on the track, do not disturb cultural material, and treat the place as a living cultural landscape rather than a lookout-only stop. Park entry fees apply.
Access & getting there
Access via Mungo Brush Road precinct. Park entry $8 per vehicle per day. Stay on the walking track. No dogs. Do not collect shells or disturb middens.
