Located in Korora NSW 2450, Australia just a 10 mintue short drive off the Pacific Highway from Coffs Harbour is the Bruxner Park Flora Reserve. It is a unique natural environment within Orara East State Forest that is managed by Forests NSW and consists of 407 hectares of dense rainforest and eucalypt forest. Bruxner Park Flora Reserve is one of Coffs Coast’s most accessible and popular reserves and is located within close proximity to Country Comfort Coffs Harbour.
The breathtaking view and its proximity to urban areas and its range of walking trails, picnic shelters and barbecue facilities attracts around 200,000 visitors per year. Bruxner Park was declared a Flora Reserve because of its contrasting forest types and to permanently conserve its flora and fauna. The park’s vegetation ranges from the flooded gum, blackbutt, blue gum, tallowwood, forest oak and turpentine of the eucalypt forest, to the booyong, yellow carabeen, crabapple, birds-nests, elk-horns and vines of the rainforest.
