Walking together - on Country and online
Media release published: 31 July 2025
Planning your next coastal adventure just got a few steps easier – Eurobodalla’s Munjip Trail has an interactive webpage guiding you along the 15-kilometre walking track.
Munjip Trail, which travels bushland, beaches and headlands from Batehaven to McKenzies Beach, opened in April, thanks to $5.25 million from the Australian and NSW Government’s Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund.
It’s a place to relax, reflect and connect - with Country, with community, and with yourself. The new webpage is your go-to for everything Munjip Trail - an interactive map, videos, short walk suggestions, hiking tips, and introductions to on-trail art and available cultural tours - bringing the Trail concept to life.
Federal Minister for Emergency Management Kristy McBain said the Munjip Trail is a powerful example of how recovery funding can support communities to reconnect with Country, culture and each other after times of crisis.
“Projects like this don’t just rebuild what was lost. They help shape stronger and more resilient regions where locals and visitors alike can walk together, learn from the landscape and reflect on the importance of connection, culture and community,” Minister McBain said.
Federal Member for Gilmore Fiona Phillips said the Munjip Trail was a stunning addition to the South Coast’s vibrant eco-tourism offerings that would benefit local businesses, tourism operators and accommodation providers.
“This walking track is a fantastic way for visitors to experience our Indigenous culture, beautiful beaches and coastal bushland at any time of the year and, of course, provides another outdoor recreational activity for local families to enjoy,” Ms Phillips said.
Eurobodalla Mayor Mathew Hatcher says the project adds heart to the region’s tourism offering.
“The Munjip Trail is a cultural, artistic and environmental experience. We expect local businesses to really benefit, especially through the quieter winter months,” the Mayor says.
While the Munjip Trail has been walk-ready since April, visitors are advised to take extra care on the 2km central section of Crown Land near Lilli Pilli which is still under construction.
The official trail opening will be held later in the year once work is finalised.
