Indian Head and Diamond Head




The Crowdy Bay National Park, runs over 5000 hectares up the coast from Harrington to Crowdy Bay and up to Indian Head and Diamond Head.

The park combines beaches, beautiful sand dunes, coastal forest, heath lands and swamp areas. The lagoons in the park are noted habitats for water birds and the beaches are quiet and peaceful.
Access to the park is via Crowdy Head as well as from Moorland on the Pacific Highway north of Coopernook.

With all main areas open to car access, Diamond Head shines as a spectacular outcrop 113 metres above sea level. Just south of Diamond Head is Indian Head, a small stack out to sea, named by Captain Cook when he sailed up the coast in 1770. He had sighted Aborigines, whom he called 'indians', on the craggy headland.
