About Meroo National Park

Coastal Lake National Park with pristine beaches and enchanting forests. Just south of Ulladulla, this is a must see park when travelling from Nowra to Batemans Bay.

The Lakes

A network of lakes (Tabourie, Termeil, Burrill, Meroo and Willinga) offer canoeing and kayaking opportunities as well as a chance to wet a line.

Scenery

The views of the coast from Meroo Head are spectacular, at dawn and dust this makes for an excellent photo opportunity.

Fishing

Bring the long rod, fishing off the beach here can be rewarding, often resulting in a flat head, salmon or one of the other species that you normally would expect off this park of the coast.

Don't forget you need a fishing licence in NSW available online at www.fisheries.nsw.gov.au

Flora and Fauna

Meroo National Park provides a wildlife corridor from the coast to Morton National Park, west of Burrill Lake. Mature eucalyptus forests that stretch across the two national parks allow threatened species such as powerful owls, sooty owls, masked owls, glossy black cockatoos and yellow-bellied gliders to maintain their populations.

Meroo and Termeil lakes are of national significance and have an abundance and diversity of animals, including a significant population of the endangered green and golden bell frog. There's also a rich and rare insect population in and around the lakes, including a large and spectacular species of moth that has not been recorded elsewhere except at Jervis Bay in 1914. Thousands of waterbirds use the lake system; some are locals while others migrate from the northern hemisphere. The impressive osprey, a large fishing bird that has become a threatened species, finds food in the waters here.

Seagrass, saltmarsh and sedgeland are important to estuarine food webs. They recover nutrients from upland runoff and contribute organic matter. They also maintain water quality by a filtering action, prevent erosion by binding soil and provide food and shelter for many animals including invertebrates.
