Khappinghat Creek is a coastal estuary system located within the Saltwater National Park, just east of Taree on the Mid-Coast of New South Wales. This tidal creek is part of the Southern Estuaries Coastal Management Program, which includes Wallis Lake, Smiths Lake, and Myall Lakes. The creek flows through a landscape of mangroves and rainforest before meeting the ocean at Saltwater Beach, creating a diverse estuarine environment that supports a range of recreational activities, including fishing, kayaking, and boating. The area is culturally significant to the Biripi people and is managed for conservation and sustainable use.
