Things to do and see at Berrara. Aboriginal for "Snapper"- obviously a good fishing spot.
![]() Apart from the usual surfing, swimming, fishing our pristine beaches, canoing Berrara Creek or just bushwalking, you are surrounded by National Park that will never change. Bicycle riding is also popular. Here are a few other suggestions: Walk either along the power pole track to Fishermans Rock or you can walk along the bottom track from the Berrara Lagoon Reserve – as long as it hasn’t been raining. Here you will find an excellent place to fish or picnic. The NPWS have provided picnic tables. There are aboriginal spear sharpening grooves on some of the rocks at this site. Follow the track further west and you will come to the little waterfall on Berrara Creek. ![]() Walk to Walter Hood Monument via Berrara Creek and NPWS bush trails. Continue past Fishermans Rock and cross over
the little waterfall and follow the track to the end of Berrara Creek. There is also a waterfall up the creek a
little further. Cross the creek and follow the signs. You can return along The Glanville Graveyard. On the way to
Fishermans, have a look at the Glanville family's private graveyard. They are situated behind the last home in A walk down to Mermaid. Walk south along
Mermaid pool at end of Berrara Beach Continue
past
Mermaid, follow the path around the headland rocks, cross over the next
beach, another rock shelf then when you come to what is commonly
called Monument Lake, but is on maps as Nerrindillah Creek, look for a
track leading from the bank through grass and bush north
and this will lead you up to the Walter Hood Monument at Monument Beach circa 1949. Pictured are the Chapman Children, LtoR Gregory, Gary, Heather and friend Carol Rogerson Berrara Cove.

Water Skiing on Swan Lake
There are three caravan parks, two with cabins that are available for holidays or weekends. Swan Lake also has the Swan Lake Sailing Club and meet regularly to hold regattas.
This progress association has recently completed stage 3 of their project of building a shared pathway from Cudmirrah to Swanhaven to alleviate bicycle riders from having to ride the dangerous section of Springs Road. It is an excellent gentle walk suitable for all ages and wanders along the banks of Swan Lake. It is mostly concrete pathway except where we had to have a gravel section because it is an easement area and has to be accessed by the electricty and council water vehicles. There is also a section of boardwalk that was built for us by our Sussex Inlet Mens Shed. A lovely way to enjoy nature, the different trees and views over Swan Lake. Stage 2 and 3 joined at Ski Beach View looking south to Cudmirrah Bridge stage 3 completed It is a popular walk/ride for locals and tourists
alike. Great views of Other Bushwalks Walk
