Gear essentials for Murramarang National Park

Guide updated · kit ideas only — verify conditions with NSW National Parks

Headlands are more UV-exposed and windier than Batemans Bay cafés. Prioritise grip, water, sun protection and light layers over gadgets. Soft beach days still need a hat and water; multi-day MSCW days punish under-packed water and over-packed fashion.
