Lake Yarrunga campgrounds: Shoalhaven River
Where To Stay Tallong, Goulburn Mulwaree, New South Wales
Tucked away in a quiet pocket of the Shoalhaven hinterland, this peaceful part of Morton National Park feels remote and isolated but you’re never too far from town.
Starting from Talllow Dam, launch your canoe or kayak and paddle west (upstream). It’s an ideal flat water kayaking adventure for beginner paddlers and families because there are no powered boats or rapids. This area was once a wild’ river and was dammed to provide water for Sydney and Nowra.
Wake up to glistening lake views and head out for day on the water. Lake Yarrunga was formed from flooding a riverso there’s spectacular towering cliffs as you paddle upstream. Look out for the vivid blue-green foliage of coastal Myall, a type of wattle that bursts with golden blossoms in spring.
