On the water

You idle down the tea-tree-stained Myall River and the lakes open up: paperbark shores, black swans, and anchorages where the only sound is your own barbecue. No licence needed — training comes with the boat.

Around the Myall

Mungo Brush’s dunes and the ocean beaches are a dinghy-and-walk away, and the lighthouse hamlet of Seal Rocks guards the seaward edge of the park — worth a car day before or after your cruise.
