About this park

Milyu is the Aboriginal name for samphire, and the main physical feature of this place is a small peninsula vegetated with sedges and samphire.

Birds are easily seen from the beach or from the foreshore path. You can almost always see Australian pelicans and black swans, with perhaps an osprey overhead struggling with a large cobbler or bream it has plucked from the shallows.
