Wallerawang

“Wang” as locals like to call it has a fabulous butcher, a great bakery and the most beautiful lake scheme around the town.

On Sundays there is sailing, or you can go any time for a picnic, a ride on your bike, there is a great childrens playground and an off leash area for your dog. There are ducks to feed and you can also camp here. Some weekends there are groups with model planes flying around over the lake. It’s very much a family place and the facilities are second to none.

The people here are always friendly and this is where you will find Black Gold Cabins.
A great place to visit or stay!
