If you’re after a place to camp that’s incredibly quiet, Wallingat River campground may be just what you’re looking for. Perched on the riverbank beneath towering eucalypts, it’s remote enough to mean you can revel in the peace and quiet. Spend your days walking through the nearby cabbage palm and rainforest stands, fishing or swimming in Wallingat River, or soaking up the natural world surrounding you. The cockatoos sing up a storm, and wallabies and possums live nearby. You’re mostly likely to see them either at dawn or dusk.
Active types might want to put the mountain bike in the car because the trails around Wallingat National Park make for great riding. Or bring your kayak for paddling along the river. There’s so much to do, it’s a shame to leave.
