One Tree Point Lookout and Picnic Area

One Tree Point Lookout and Picnic Area is a highlight of Tuross Head, a picturesque coastal village on the Eurobodalla South Coast, perched on a low headland between Tuross Lake and Coila Lake.

Tuross Head Heritage Area

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations

Tuross Head Heritage Area

Discover the maritime and holiday history of Tuross Head on the Eurobodalla South Coast, where historic boatsheds, waterfront views and a grove of Norfolk Island Pines tell the story of a village shaped by the lake. In the 1850s and 1860s, small coastal vessels carried timber and farm produce from around Tuross Lake, though its difficult entrance made it hard to develop as a port. In 1870, Patrick Mylott bought the 875-acre Tuross peninsula and built Tuross House, overlooking Coila and Tuross lakes. When he moved his family to Sydney in 1883 so his young daughter could study opera, Tuross-born Eva went on to become an internationally renowned opera singer. A plaque honours her in Eva Mylott Park on Jutland Avenue. Tuross Head became a holiday destination in the mid-1920s, when Hector McWilliam bought the property from Mylott's widow, subdivided it and sold lots for holiday houses. He planted 200 Norfolk Island Pines and established a nine-hole golf course. The pines remain his distinctive legacy. To soak it all up, stroll past the historic boatsheds on Trafalgar Road, built to serve the growing demand for fishing and boating on Tuross Lake, and enjoy a meal on the waterfront. Then wander through the Norfolk Island Pine grove in McWilliam Park at Tarandore Point.

Snorkelling Potato Point

Natural Attractions

Snorkelling Potato Point

Potato Point is nine kilometres east of Bodalla. Follow Potato Point Road to the end, then turn left onto Long Street, left again on to Short Street, then right back on to Long Point Street. On the left of the street you'll find the beach reserve and a small drive to the boat ramp. At Potato Point, snorkellers can find themselves suddenly enveloped in a school of kingfish or salmon. It's not an area for novices, and even experienced snorkellers need to be aware of a few important tips to make exploring this diverse and exciting marine habitat a safe and rewarding experience. On the northern side of the point facing Potato Point Beach is a concrete boat ramp which is a good entry and exit point from the water, but there is a slight rip near the boat ramp which needs to be considered. The southern side of the point is more exposed and can be dangerous. Marine life you might encounter at Potato Point includes wobbegongs, Port Jackson sharks and stingrays. The rocky reefs and sandy gutters also contain sea squirts and sea urchins.

Bodalla Heritage Area

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations

Bodalla Heritage Area

Bodalla Heritage Area on the Eurobodalla South Coast is home to two significant churches designed by two of the most prominent architects in 19th-century colonial Australia, and a village shaped by one of the country's great pioneers, Thomas Sutcliffe Mort. A leading Sydney businessman, Mort established the Bodalla Estate in 1860 as his country retreat. He had already revolutionised the wool industry, pioneering specialised wool auctions and pastoral finance, developing Mort's Dock and pioneering the export of frozen meat. At Bodalla, he became known as the father of Australian dairying. In 1864 he introduced a factory system that replaced cottage cheesemaking, combining milk from different sources into a consistent-quality cheese able to compete with English imports, a model dairy farmers across the country adopted. After floods in the 1860s and 1870s, Mort moved the village from the river flats to higher ground. The estate stayed in the Mort family for more than a century. Today, visit All Saints Anglican Church, built between 1883 and 1902 as a memorial to Mort and his first wife, Theresa, and the shingled Catholic Church from 1886. The Bodalla Dairy Shed offers a fascinating insight into the town's history, and a stroll through the village takes in the Bodalla Arms Hotel (1910 - now the Bodalla Pub), the former bakery (mid-1880s) and the Post Office (1899).

Bodalla Historic Town Walk

Bodalla Historic Town Walk

Step back in time on the Bodalla Historic Town Walk, an easy self-guided stroll through this charming village on the Eurobodalla South Coast. Bodalla's story began in the 1860s, when British industrialist Sir Thomas Mort established the region's dairy industry, and the historic buildings that still stand tell that story today. Start at All Saints Church on the Princes Highway, built in 1880, then head south past Bodalla Cottage, the memorial hall, bakery and post office to the old police station. Cross the highway to the fire shed and continue south before turning into Sutcliffe Street. At the old Bodalla School, follow the street north past the Uniting Church and the Stone Shed, finishing at the Bodalla Pub. The walk is 3.5 kilometres return, graded easy, and takes around two hours, leaving plenty of time to stop and imagine the village as it once was. Along the way, you can also pop into the Bodalla General for traditional pies, pastries and cakes or finish with a meal at the pub. Bodalla sits about 30 minutes south of Batemans Bay, making it a rewarding heritage stop on a South Coast road trip.

Kayaking Upper Tuross River and Bumbo Lake

Natural Attractions

Kayaking Upper Tuross River and Bumbo Lake

Kayak the Upper Tuross River and Bumbo Lake, a peaceful paddling escape near Bodalla on the Eurobodalla South Coast. Bumbo Lake lies west of the Princes Highway, a large, tranquil lake set between the low foothills of Deua National Park and the patchwork of rural pasture on the Tuross River flats. For a longer paddle, launch from the shallows at Snake Flat Reserve on Bumbo Road and head upriver to Silo Farm Bridge on Comerang Road, an 11.4-kilometre one-way trip. Land on the western side of the bridge. The river continues for many kilometres beyond Comerang Road and may be accessible with some rapids, so check conditions, water levels and a map before going further. Prefer a shorter outing? Paddle from Snake Flat Reserve up the estuary and into Bumbo Lake, then circle the lake and explore Bumbo Creek, around 11 kilometres return. To find Snake Flat Reserve, turn west off the Princes Highway onto Bumbo Road and drive one kilometre. A cattle grid and a yellow "no camping" sign mark the entrance on your left. There are no facilities at the reserve, but Bodalla's cafes are just 3.7 kilometres further south on the highway, ideal for a post-paddle coffee.
