Bermagui, New South Wales

The warm, sunny, calm weather on Anzac Day made perfect conditions for sightseeing around Bermagui on the south coast of New South Wales. We shall remember them.

This sleepy little fishing village, immensely popular with holidaymakers has breathtaking views of the ocean from almost anyway! The Crystral clear water beneath the Fisherman’s Wharf revealing schools of fish and enormous stingrays.

Nineteen kilometres offshore from Bermagui the edge of the “continental shelf is at its closest point to the mainland of Australia and therefore the fishing can be excellent.

The Bermagui Hotel, as a centerpiece of the main street has stunning views of the beach, parklands and the sportsgrounds. One could even watch a bit of the “footy” without actually leaving the pub!

When Captain Cook sailed past in 1770, he could of hardly imagined the Bermagui of today.

Whilst exploring Bermagui, we parked our caravan at the Big 4 Wallaga Lake, a five minute drive from Bermagui. Wallaga Lake is the largest lake in New South Wales and is situated beneath the magnificent Gulaga Mountain.

Practically on the opposite side of road from Wallaga Lake is a popular surf beach and the spectacular Camel Rock, an ancient rock formation over 400 million years old.
