Description
Banambarrnga/Rainbow Cliffs is a sheer section of coastline where the exposed and weathered rock profile produces a striking colourful effect on the cliff face as it plunges over 40 meters into the sea. Open forest runs to the top of the cliff and a small tidal creek winds through a mangrove community to spill into the sea at its western end, where there is easy access to a sandy beach.
The top of the cliff is a Sacred Site and access is not permitted. Follow the road to the eastern side of the cliffs to see a spectacular view from the laterite shelf adjacent to the cliff base.
The western side of the track leads to a small cliff, camping areas and a beach. There is also a composting toilet on this site. Access is via 4WD and sites are suitable for tents and camper trailers.
Anyone wanting to visit this Recreational Area must obtain a General Permit from Dhimurru before they go. Permit applications can be made online or by contacting the Dhimurru office on 08 8939 2700 or permits@dhimurru.com.au.
