Story

Waratah-Wynyard is renowned for the spectacular display of tulips at Table Cape that showcases a local festival, "Bloomin' Tulips" held each October.

Take a little time to explore its beaches and enjoy the fresh sea air and safe swimming and boating opportunities. Waratah-Wynyard Council maintains barbecues, picnic shelters, public toilets and change rooms at its beach areas. In Wynyard, there are kilometres of walking track along the banks of the Inglis River to cater for the more energetic and for those who prefer a short leisurely stroll in peaceful and scenic surroundings. Further south, walking trails are to be found in Hellyer Gorge and at Waratah, at the foot of Mount Bischoff, the site of the world's richest tin mine at the turn of the 20th century.
