Editing Beowa National Park (section)

==Description==
The park consists of two sections, on either side of Twofold Bay and the town of Eden. The smaller northern section is bounded on its western border by the Princes Highway. The geology of this section is mainly sedimentary rock ([[ironstone]] and [[clay]]) laid down in the [[Paleogene]], with some [[quartzite]] outcrops. The main attraction for tourists is the Pinnacles, a multicoloured erosion gully with white sands overlaid by rusty red clay. The southern section coastline is metamorphic and [[Devonian]] in age, with some heavily folded sections at Red Point, near Boyd's tower.<ref name=wright220>Wright, p. 220.</ref><!-- cites previous four sentences -->

The park is fairly flat, with none of the northern section exceeding 100 metres (300 ft) in elevation, and the southern section not much higher; the tallest peak is Haycock Hill at 252 metres (827 ft).<ref name=wright220/> The region is particularly windy, dry and cold, and the headlands are covered in a low ground-hugging heathland community of plants. Further inland, the heath is replaced by open eucalypt woodland, which makes up most of the park's habitat.<ref name=wright223/> The two dominant tree species are silvertop ash (''[[Eucalyptus sieberi]]'') and red bloodwood (''[[Corymbia gummifera]]'').<ref name=wright224>Wright, p. 224.</ref> There are also scattered pockets of [[rainforest]] in gullies and protected areas, with species such as the scentless rosewood (''[[Synoum]] glandulosum'') and smooth mock-olive (''[[Notelaea venosa]]'').<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/NationalParks/parkVegetation.aspx?id=N0003|title=Ben Boyd National Park: Native vegetation |work=Office of Environment & Heritage website|publisher= NSW Government|access-date=10 May 2011}}</ref>
