Wadbilliga National Park

Tucked within Wadbilliga National Park at the base of the Great Dividing Range, Brogo Dam offers a kayaking experience like no other. Here there are no waves, no tides, and no tricky currents—just calm waters that invite you to relax and soak it all in. Glide effortlessly across the dam before venturing into a spectacular gorge where towering rock walls, orchids, and mirrored reflections create an atmosphere of pure serenity.

Fascinating Regional Storytelling

As you paddle, your guide will bring the landscape to life with stories of Brogo’s geological past and human history. Learn how the ancient rock formations of the gorge were shaped over millions of years, and how the dam itself was constructed in the 1970s to provide vital water to the Bega Valley. It’s a chance to see not just the beauty of the landscape, but also the forces—both natural and human—that shaped it.

Wildlife

Wildlife is everywhere: sea eagles circling overhead, cormorants drying their wings, wallabies on the drive in, and even the flash of an azure kingfisher if you’re lucky. It’s nature at its most intimate, and far away from the crowds.

Relax and Refresh with Morning Tea

Take a break from paddling to stretch your legs, enjoy a refreshing swim, and indulge in a delightful morning tea. Our spread includes: Plunger coffee, black leaf tea, peppermint tea or fruit juice, Local full cream milk from Tilba Dairy, Seasonal fruit and Locally made sweet treats from Wild Rye. Special dietary requirements can be catered for upon request.
