GUUDJI YIIGU (Goo-jee ik-koo) – A Worimi Welcome.

 

Beach and dune driving is a top attraction at Stockton Sand Dunes and Worimi Conservation Lands, offering over 19 km of beachfront and 350 hectares of dune driving in the Recreational Vehicle Area. This is one of NSW's largest coastal dune driving zones. A four-wheel drive vehicle is required, and all vehicles must be registered and display a valid Worimi Conservation Lands beach vehicle permit. Road rules apply under the Road Transport (General) Act 2005, as the area is classified as a road-related zone.

​

There are two types of permits available:

1. Beach Vehicle Permits

2. Recreational Vehicle Area Permits including quads & motorbikes.

 

The Worimi Conservation Lands are located in the Port Stephens area of Anna Bay, north of Newcastle. Vehicle access is available for 4WDs.

 

There are three entrances to the Worimi Conservation Lands:

- via Lavis Lane at Williamtown

- via Gan Gan Road at Anna Bay
