Coonar Creek is a substantial tidal estuary system that flows into Hervey Bay, located approximately 25 minutes from Bundaberg in Queensland's Kinkuna region. This expansive saltwater creek is characterized by a wide, sandy mouth at its confluence with the ocean and is bordered by extensive mangrove forests and native pines. The area is part of the declared Kinkuna Fish Habitat Area, emphasizing its ecological significance. Fishing here is primarily an inshore saltwater pursuit, with opportunities from both boat and shore, set against a backdrop of remote beaches and coastal wilderness.
