Tuross Head to Bingie - Bingie Dreaming Track Extension -

The Bingie Residents Association, who created the Dreaming Track from Congo to Bingie, are in the process of extending this marvelous walking track to Tuross Head. The route comes past the sewerage depot, along the
pipeline and Telecom easements to Coila Lake and around the
north-east edge of the lake to Coila Beach.

When Coila Lake is too high an alternative route will follow the sea shore.

Bingie to Congo - Bingie Dreaming Track

The Bingie Dreaming Track follows part of the Dreaming track used by the Brinja-Yuin people. Dreaming tracks traditionally linked every place visited by local Aboriginal people, then
extended to connect every place utilised by neighbouring clans.

It is the belief of Aboriginal people that the Spirit Ancestors created Dreaming tracks in the journey of Creation
across the land.

The Bingi Dreaming Track takes you close to shell middens,
stone quarries, knapping sites (stone tool making), campsites and fresh water sources.
There are also beacon sites for sending smoke signals and lookouts traditionally used to
spot visitors and schools of fish.

Now that the Bingi Dreaming Track is in operation, many alternative tracks degrading the bushland have been closed and these areas are naturally regenerating.

The Congo area was a major source of silcrete, used to make stone tools. Silcrete was widely traded throughout the region. The walk follows the beaches and headlands of Eurobodalla National Park from Congo to Bingie Bingie Point and is 8 km one way (3 hrs).

For a shorter walk you may wish to start or turn around at Meringo or do a car shuffle
at either end.

Length: 16km return
Time: 6 hrs
Grade: moderate
access: Congo Headland
