Bermagui, New South Wales

Bermagui and Wallaga Lake have long been a fishermen's paradise. Surrounded by secluded surf beaches, estuaries, wetlands and coastal lagoons, with Gulaga Mountain watching over the scene, the secrets of Bermagui unfold.

The continental shelf is at its closest point to the mainland at Bermagui affording fine fishing off the shoreline. Charter boats operate deep sea, dive and game fishing trips where black marlin and a chase of yellow fin tuna is a regular event. The coastline also offers some of the best whale watching in Australia.

Nearby Mimosa Rocks National Park boasts spectacular scenery, pristine beaches, bush walks and secluded camping grounds.
