Wooli (including Minnie Water)
Peaceful holiday resort on the coast near Grafton
Located 685 km north of Sydney, Wooli is essentially a beach
resort town on the coast near the mouth of the Wooli River.
It is reached by taking the turnoff from the Pacific Highway
12 km south of Grafton and travelling east to Lake Hiawatha.
At Lake Hiawatha the road divides with the northern road
heading towards Minnie Waters and the southern branch
heading towards Wooli.
Wooli is located on a narrow peninsula with the Wooli
River to the west and the Solitary Island Marine Reserve on
the east. It is surrounded by the extensive Yuraygir
National Park which stretches from Yamba in the north to Red
Rock in the south. The waters here are remarkably clear as
their is no industry and the development has been low key.
Things to see:
Fishing and Boating
The area is noted for its excellent seafood particularly the
locally grown Sydney oysters. This is an ideal location for
fishing and surfing. Deep sea diving and fishing charter
boats operate out of Wooli harbour.
Solitary Island Nature Reserve
This reserve is noted as an important habitat for the
crested tern, the wedgetailed shearwater and the sooty
oyster catcher. The reserve is also home to soft corals and
consequently is a popular diving destination. There are
brochures with details of sites available.

to Red Rock in the south. A combination of peaceful,
isolated beaches, it offers rest, relaxation, excellent
fishing, surfing and swimming and interesting flora and
