Arriving at the old wharf, moor the boat or kayak and find your land legs. Unpack a delicious lunch in the shade of the sheltered picnic tables. As you tuck in, watch for the yellow-tailed black cockatoos snacking on the fruits of the nearby she-oaks.

If you love paddling, canoe south along the tranquil Myall River for a night under the stars at Brambles Green campground.
