Detailed NSW Sapphire Coast Topographic Mapping | Wolumla, Wolumla Creek, Frogs Hollow, Greendale Creek, Bournda National Park & Wallagoot Lake | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏞️ Explore the Rural Valleys and Coastal Wilderness of Wolumla

Discover the rolling green pastures, winding waterways, sheltered coastal lakes and magnificent native forests of the New South Wales Sapphire Coast with the Wolumla 8824-2N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Wolumla and surrounding country between Bega, Tathra and Merimbula, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for rural landowners, bushwalkers, agricultural professionals, environmental researchers, conservation managers, surveyors and emergency services.

The Wolumla district occupies a distinctive landscape within the Bega Valley, where productive farmland and gently rolling hills extend towards forested coastal lowlands, wetlands and sandy beaches.

The map includes geographical coverage relevant to Wolumla, Wolumla Creek, Frogs Hollow, Greendale Creek, Bournda National Park, Bournda Lagoon and Wallagoot Lake.

The historic village of Wolumla lies along the Princes Highway, south of Bega. Surrounded by dairy farms, grazing properties and wooded hills, it reflects the region's longstanding agricultural heritage.

One of the district's principal waterways is Wolumla Creek, which drains the surrounding rural catchment before joining the Bega River system.

Its tributaries include Frogs Hollow Creek and Greendale Creek, creating a network of shallow valleys, drainage depressions and flood-prone rural flats.

These waterways have influenced the location of farms, rural roads and settlements, making the map particularly valuable for understanding local landforms and drainage patterns.

The surrounding countryside includes Frogs Hollow, a rural locality north of Wolumla, where open grazing land, wooded hills and country roads create a characteristic Bega Valley landscape.

Farther east, the terrain changes dramatically as agricultural valleys give way to the protected forests, freshwater lakes and coastal landforms of Bournda National Park.

The park occupies an attractive stretch of coastline between Tathra and Merimbula, protecting sandy beaches, rocky headlands, wetlands and extensive native woodland.

One of its most significant natural features is Wallagoot Lake, a coastal lagoon surrounded by forested hills and sheltered waterways.

The lake provides opportunities for sailing, kayaking, birdwatching and environmental research. Its shoreline, wetland vegetation and natural drainage systems make it particularly interesting from a geographical perspective.

Nearby Bournda Lagoon occupies a beautiful setting close to the coast, where freshwater environments, coastal dunes and native forest meet.

The lagoon is surrounded by walking tracks and vegetation communities that reflect the region's complex relationship between inland drainage and coastal processes.

The adjoining Bournda Beach is characterised by sweeping sand, coastal dunes and exposed ocean conditions.

One of the area's most recognisable geological features is Bournda Island, a rocky coastal landform connected to the mainland by a natural sandy and rocky formation.

Other important regional landmarks include Wallagoot Beach, Wallagoot Gap, Sandy Creek, Hobart Beach and the Turingal Head district.

The park's walking tracks provide opportunities to investigate the relationship between coastal lakes, sandstone and rocky outcrops, forested slopes and marine environments.

The surrounding region forms part of the traditional Country of Aboriginal peoples of the Far South Coast, including the Yuin peoples, whose continuing connections to the land, forests and waterways are an essential part of its heritage.

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

Whether you're investigating rural property, exploring Bournda National Park, studying Wolumla Creek or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Wolumla topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

The Wolumla district contains flood-prone creek valleys, private agricultural properties, coastal wetlands and roads subject to changing conditions. Heavy rainfall can cause rises in Wolumla Creek and its tributaries, affecting low-lying roads and rural land. Beaches within Bournda National Park are generally unpatrolled and may experience dangerous rip currents and strong surf. Coastal lagoons and lake conditions can change after rainfall. Bushfires, storms and national park maintenance may also restrict access. Always check current council flood information, park alerts and weather conditions, respect property boundaries and carry appropriate navigation equipment. Topographic maps are not substitutes for cadastral surveys, official flood studies, nautical charts or current emergency advice.
