How to Find Gondwana Sanctuary

Gondwana Sanctuary

Directions to Gondwana Sanctuary


View Larger Map

Gondwana is shown in this map with the green icon marked "B". You can navigate round the map using the mouse or with the arrow icons in the top left corner. Click the + and - icons to zoom in and out. Note that Grays Lane is shown on this map as Black Rock Road (after zooming in).

It is also possible to get explicit driving instructions by clicking the green icon "B", and entering a starting location such as "Brisbane" or "Fletcher St, Byron Bay" (or even "Perth").

Alternatively, use the following directions:

From Byron Bay and the south, drive 4.4 km north along the Pacific Highway from the Byron Bay turn-off at Ewingsdale, and turn right into Grays Lane at the Tyagarah Airstrip sign. Then drive 1.2 km along Grays Lane to the first road on the left, Prestons Lane. Turn left into Prestons Lane, and Gondwana Sanctuary is at the second entrance on the left about 300m from the corner.

If travelling from the north, drive south along the Pacific Highway - after you pass the exit to Brunswick Heads, drive a further 4.5 km along the Pacific Highway and turn left into Grays Lane at the Tyagarah Airstrip sign. Then as above.
