Red Rock & Corindi River

Guide updated

Southern finish of the Yuraygir coastal walk. Village services, no commercial river-crossing service, and a clean bail-out if the last waterway is unsafe.

  • Best for: Coastal-walk finish, southern day trips, pairing with Coffs Harbour stays
  • Time: A few hours if meeting walkers; overnight in the village or Coffs
  • Red Rock village is signed from the Pacific Highway north of Coffs Harbour / Corindi. Park entry points include Station Creek Road access. Confirm which car park you are using — walk finish and village are not the same pin.

Finishing (or not finishing) here

The walk is officially Angourie to Red Rock, 65 km, 4–5 days, Grade 4. The last waterway is where people get stuck if they have no crossing plan. If conditions are poor, finishing at Wooli is still a completed trip.

Coffs Harbour is about a 30-minute drive south of Red Rock in typical conditions — use it for flights, big-shop resupply and wet-weather beds. [VERIFY] drive time on the day.

No commercial boat here

Official visitor info and the river-crossing alert: Corindi / Red Rock has no commercial service. Arrange your own crossing or finish at Wooli if unsafe. Do not treat a village boat ramp as a booked transfer.

Support drivers: agree the meeting pin (village vs signed walk finish) plus a Wooli backup before Day 1.

Solitary Islands Marine Park

Offshore zoning is a separate system from the land park. Snorkel and fish only where marine-park rules allow. A NSW recreational fishing licence is statewide and never affiliated here.
