South of the Tully River is a 25 km section of essentially undeveloped beaches and tidal creeks. It contains four beaches bordered by five creeks. They are all backed by extensive low, sandy beach and foredune ridge plains that extend up to 5 km inland. Due to the low, wet, sandy nature of the soils the land was not cleared for farming and now the three southern beaches and backing plains are part of the Edmund Kennedy National Park. The only vehicle access to the park is at the southern end at Meunga Creek where there is a camping area and creek boat ramp, plus a resident crocodile. Beach 791 runs for 8 km from the Murray River to the smaller, winding Dallachy Creek that drains the extensive backing sand plains and swamps. It has a narrow high tide beach, wide tidal shoals in the north that grade into multi-ridge sand flats for 3 km, then a normal beach and low tide bar and finally the Dallachy Creek tidal shoals. read more
