Detailed NSW North Coast Topographic Mapping | Red Rock, Corindi River, Corindi Beach, Station Creek, Pebbly Beach & Yuraygir National Park | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏞️ Explore the Coastal Rivers and Wilderness of Red Rock

Discover the sweeping ocean beaches, tidal waterways and protected coastal forests of the New South Wales Coffs Coast with the Red Rock 9538-3S Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Red Rock and its surrounding coastal and hinterland landscapes north of Coffs Harbour, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, campers, environmental researchers, conservation managers, surveyors and emergency services.

The Red Rock district occupies a beautiful position at the southern end of Yuraygir National Park, where the Corindi River meets the Pacific Ocean.

Here, quiet coastal settlements give way to long beaches, rocky headlands, estuarine wetlands and forested lowlands. It is a landscape shaped by the meeting of freshwater drainage, tidal currents, ocean waves and ancient coastal geology.

The map provides detailed geographical coverage relevant to Red Rock, the Corindi River, Corindi Beach, Station Creek and the southern Yuraygir coastline, with Sherwood Nature Reserve and the Halfway Creek hinterland providing wider geographical context.

The small village of Red Rock lies beside the mouth of the Corindi River, overlooking a picturesque estuary surrounded by coastal vegetation and sandy riverbanks.

The village takes its name from the distinctive reddish rock formations near the river entrance, which contrast with the surrounding golden sand and blue coastal waters.

The Corindi River is the defining geographical feature of the district. Its lower reaches form a tidal estuary with winding channels, mangrove vegetation, sandy banks and sheltered waterways.

The river's changing course and surrounding floodplain illustrate the dynamic relationship between river discharge, tidal movements, coastal sediment and vegetation.

South of the river mouth, Corindi Beach extends along an attractive stretch of coastline, while the village of Corindi Beach provides access to coastal recreation areas.

North of Red Rock, the coastline enters the protected landscape of Yuraygir National Park, one of New South Wales' most extensive undeveloped coastal conservation areas.

The national park protects approximately 65 kilometres of shoreline between Angourie and Red Rock, encompassing rocky headlands, sandy beaches, coastal heathland, lagoons and native forests.

The celebrated Yuraygir Coastal Walk follows this remarkable coastline, connecting remote beaches, river crossings and walking trails.

Red Rock marks the southern end of the Yuraygir Coastal Walk, making this map especially valuable for walkers completing the southern stages of the route.

Farther north, Station Creek provides another distinctive coastal landscape, with sheltered water, sandy beaches, forested surroundings and access to Station Creek Campground.

Nearby Pebbly Beach Campground occupies an attractive coastal setting among native vegetation, with access routes and walking opportunities through the southern national park.

The Station Creek and Pebbly Beach district is particularly interesting for geographical study because small coastal streams, beach ridges, sand dunes and tidal waterways create intricate drainage patterns.

Inland, the landscape transitions towards Sherwood Nature Reserve and the forested Halfway Creek district, where native eucalypt woodland, shallow valleys and rural access roads contribute to the wider Coffs Coast environment.

The surrounding coastline also forms part of an important ecological landscape supporting shorebirds, coastal vegetation and marine wildlife.

The endangered little tern uses protected coastal breeding habitats near Station Creek Beach and Red Rock, illustrating the importance of conservation management along this coastline.

The district lies within the traditional Country of the Gumbaynggirr people, whose continuing cultural relationships with the coastal waterways, headlands and surrounding land remain an essential part of the region's heritage.

At 1:25,000 scale (1cm = 250 metres), the map provides detailed contours, waterways, roads, tracks, vegetation and geographical reference information.

Whether you're exploring the Yuraygir coastline, studying estuarine environments, planning walking routes or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Red Rock topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

The Red Rock coastline includes exposed beaches, tidal rivers, sandy tracks, wetlands and rocky shorelines subject to rapidly changing conditions. The Corindi River crossing on the Yuraygir Coastal Walk requires particular care: NSW National Parks advises that no commercial boat transfer service is available at Red Rock, so walkers must arrange suitable water transport in advance and must not attempt an unsafe crossing. Rock platforms can be impassable during high tides or rough seas. Some access roads to Station Creek and Pebbly Beach are unsealed, with sections requiring high-clearance four-wheel-drive vehicles. Bushfires, storm damage and conservation works may also restrict access. Always check current park alerts, tides, surf conditions and road access before travelling. Topographic maps are not substitutes for nautical charts, current coastal hazard advice or emergency information.
