Woollamia on Currambene Creek

Woollamia lies on Currambene Creek, and the creek’s catchment area also includes the locality. This gives the place a clear connection to the waterway. Various themes can feature in your travel plans: kayaking in Woollamia, recreational fishing at a named boat ramp and access to the creek. There is also The Gunyah, which uses regional and seasonal ingredients, as well as the nearby Woollamia Nature Reserve. You can consider water activities, food and nature as separate focuses for a stay.

Water activities and boat ramp

The Woollamia boat ramp facility serves as a starting point for recreational fishing and allows boats to be launched. The Woollamia regional boatramp provides access to Currambene Creek. Local stingrays may also be seen at this regional boat ramp. Such a sighting is a possibility and cannot be planned with certainty. The operating arrangements at the Woollamia boat ramp facility may change; check them before travelling. When choosing a water-based focus, the options differ by activity: kayaking is one activity, alongside the ramp’s facilities for recreational fishing and launching boats.

Dining at The Gunyah

The Gunyah’s treetop dining room also welcomes guests who are not staying at the property. You can stop by for breakfast, afternoon cocktails, bar snacks and dinner. Reservations are required, and hours may vary. The kitchen prepares dishes using regional and seasonal ingredients. If you plan to visit, make a reservation and allow for the varying hours.

The nearby Woollamia Nature Reserve

The Woollamia Nature Reserve is nearby. Cycling is permitted on the management trails, given the flat terrain. Check current signage and trail conditions before riding. The reserve includes forest and wetland vegetation and provides habitat for threatened forest-dependent fauna. Cycling on the management trails and the habitats described are two different aspects of the nearby protected area.

Currambene Creek and nature in the wider travel area

In the wider travel area, the Currambene Creek estuary flows into Jervis Bay Marine Park. The estuary is an important feeding and resting area for wading and migratory birds, including the Australasian bittern and the eastern curlew. Woollamia is connected to this broader waterway system through the Currambene Creek catchment and is itself located on the creek. This adds a regional perspective on wetlands and birdlife to the local connection with the waterway.

Accommodation perspective

In Woollamia, Paperbark Camp combines luxury camping with ecotourism. For those who also consider the type of accommodation when choosing a stay, it offers a specific nature-focused option alongside water activities and the nearby reserve.
