Bonville Creek has a new route!
Recent Ocean Tides have created a new entrance to Bonville Creek. Running into the Pacific Ocean opposite Dolmans Point.
Entrance changes usually occurs from bad weather and times of flood, but this change has just happened by the creek breaking though the sand dunes. The new creek configuration has not been seen since the 1950’s and now gives the creek two entrances. The best vantage point is from Sawtell Headland.

Sea Birds Re-Turn
Little Turns have once again returned to our foreshores for breeding on the southern side of Bonville Creek. They nest on the ground in the open, on sand dunes at sites along the NSW coast. There is a large breeding ground situated on the southern side of Bonville Creek. This site is regularly monitored by NPWS and has been an identified breeding site since at least 1971. Nesting season is between September & February. Little Terns can be identified by the black line that extends from the bill through the eye and a short triangular white brow above, but does not extend past the eye. The beak is usually yellow with a black tip. The large flight feathers are darker in colour toward the edge of the wings.The Little Tern has been declared an endangered species and the Department of Environment and Conservation is actively promoting its protection.
