Broken Head, New South Wales
Broken Head is a coastal feature (promontory/headland) and suburb located in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia, approximately 9 km south of Cape Byron, the easternmost point of Australia, the closest town being Byron Bay. The locality is within the Byron Shire local government area.[2] Immediately adjacent to the headland is the 98-hectare (240-acre) Broken Head Nature Reserve which contains an intact segment of littoral rainforest. The Traditional Owners of Broken Head, and its surrounds, are the Arakwal people of the Bundjalung Nation.[3][4][5] The area is noted for its Aboriginal culture, rainforest walks, whale watching and fishing from pristine beaches,[6] and it is also highly regarded as a surfing locality.[7][8] The Broken Head Holiday Park is currently administered by the indigenous Arakwal people, having been passed to their control by the New South Wales Crown Lands Department in 2009.[9] References
