Brogo

Situated 25kms north east of Bega on the Far South Coast of NSW, just 3 hours from Canberra and 6 hours south of Sydney, and just 40 minutes from the unspoiled beaches and lakes backed by beautiful coastal National Parks.

Visit Brogo Dam, which is contained within the Brogo wilderness area and the southern section of Wadbilliga National Park. The park protects rugged coastal escarpment and plateau areas surrounding the Wadbilliga, Tuross and Brogo Rivers.

Power boats are also welcome in this area. You can hire canoes to explore the Dam and gain access to remote pockets of bushland.

Explore tranquil rainforest gullies, and the rugged picturesque surrounds. Sheer cliffs overhang the water with rock orchids and ferns, while the surrounding bush harbours many native birds and animals.

There are big bass in the Brogo, and the storage has been stocked with trout. Fishing is best done by canoe or boat, as the rugged foreshores are generally inaccessible.

For tranquillity and beauty its hard to beat.... bring a picnic lunch and choose from any number of secluded locations.

One such site has the remnants of an original homestead, although all that now remains are a few stone-edged garden beds and a stand of tall trees once planted to shade and protect the homestead. Once built high on a hill above the river, the dam waters now ensure a water frontage.
