The coastal village of Bermagui is situated 13 kms from the Princes Highway, south of Narooma and north of Bega and the junction of the Snowy Mountain Highways linking Canberra via the coastal route of the Princes Highway to Sydney and Melbourne.

The rugged coastline area interspersed with golden beaches and beautiful rock pools offers scenes of natural beauty and excellent lake, estuary, deep sea and big game fishing.

LOCAL ATTRACTIONS:

• Mimosa Rock National Park offers spectacular coast and mountain scenery.
• Camel Rock at the mouth of Wallega Lake.
• Tilba Tilba National Trust classified village south of Narooma, offering well preserved 19th Century weatherboard architecture and local cheese factory with 100 year history.
• A fisherman's paradise from organised fishing trips to just fishing off the beaches or rocks.
• Good array of sporting facilities.
• Visit the coastal townships of Narooma approximately a half hour drive north of Bermagui.
• MONTREAL GOLDFIELD The Montreal Goldfield is situated about 7 kms north of Bemagui on the Wallaga Lake Road. It is the only goldfield in Australia that extends into the sea. Gold was discovered on the beach in September 1880 and a real gold rush soon occurred with miners mainly travelling from Sydney on the cargo boats. A portion of the goldfield has been preserved as a community project and the tour by trained volunteer guides gives the visitor a unique experience. Tales of history, geology and an unsolved mystery stirs the imagination as you wander through the beautiful tree fern and bloodwood forest that covers the site today. Admission to the site is by guided tour only for safety reasons and so the guides can tell the Montreal story. A tour leaves at 2.00 p.m. each day and takes about 1 1/4 hrs.
