 The
Myall Lakes comprises 10,000 hectares of coastal brackish waterways,
located within the Myall Lakes National Park, which are approx 44,000
hectares of natural bushland. The waterway is made up of 3 major lakes,
the Myall Lake, the Boolambayte Lake and the Broadwater. The 3 lakes are
connected by the narrows and are all fully navigable. The lake system is
recognised internationally with the National park being listed as a
RAMSAR Wetland.
The Water depth over the lake system averages 2 metres
and most areas are fully navigable. The eastern shoreline is primarily
sand bottom, providing good anchorage. There are approx 22 safety
moorings situated throughout the lakes, located at Bombah Point,
Professors cove, Violet Hill, Long Point Bay and Kataway Bay. The
moorings are free, except for the commercial moorings located at Bombah
Point.
A mobile sewage barge funded by the Waterways Authority of NSW
operates on the lake system and is free to private boat owners. A
wharf-based sewage pump out facility is located at Bombah Point and is
also free.
Launching ramps are provided at Violet Hill, Mungo Brush and
Nerong Village. Wharves are located at Violet Hill, Korsman’s Landing,
Bombah Point and there are 3 wharves located in the lower Myall River at
