Camel Rock Beach
The first place to visit Wallaga Lake is Camel Rock Beach.
Awesome
I loved being there.
You can stand by the rocks, You can see these amazing geological structures.
And, you can have the photography opportunity. Plus, you sense the idea of being there.

Wallaga Lake
By staying in Wallaga Lake, you can visit Camel Rock Beach at different times of the day.
This means you can capture photography in various light conditions. That is, sunset, the hour before sunset, sunrise, blue hour, and at night.
Also, it means you can capture the different weather scenarios. Like the dark rain clouds rolling in towards the coast.
The Drive
On the drive from Narooma to Bermagui. I took Bermagui Road which turned onto Wallaga Lake Road.
I wasn't expecting to find myself driving on a road with water on either side of me.
Then, you cross over a one-lane bridge with the water from Lake Wallaga on either side of you.
You will find a few of these one-lane bridges in this area. And, you will cross over lakes and creeks as they exit the bays and ocean.
Camel Rock Beach
Look for the sign for you to turn off Wallaga Lake Road to Camel Rock Surf Beach. From the carpark you can walk to the beach.
The first time I went to Camel Rock, the tide was in more. So, I only walked up close to it.
On a subsequent visit, the tide was low. So, when the tide is low, you can walk around the rock further along the beach.
You can imagine my surprise when I realized there looked to be more than one big rock.
On one of the drives to the car park, an echidna was walking out of the shrubs onto the dirt road. I stopped. It dashed back into the bushes.
Camel Rock Surf Beach
You can experience the Beach from wherever you are. Take some time for you, to stop and watch.
Photography at Camel Rock
Sun shining on Camel Rock
There I was, standing on the viewing platform. Which is just off the car park in among the bushes.
One minute I'm looking at the Camel Rock. Then, all of a sudden, within the next few seconds, the sun comes out. And, it shines a small patch on its back.
Amazing sight it was and it only for a few seconds. Then, it was gone again.
Do you like to watch sunsets at the beach?

Every post I read about Australia makes me sad we had to cancel our trip this year. I smiled when I saw your post about “Camel Rock”. When we recently visited Phoenix, we saw “Camelback” mountain. And even though we saw it from several perspectives, I really had to stretch to see the “camel” in the rock. Maybe I will see it when I visit Camel Rock in Australia!
Hope you get to reschedule your travel soon to Australia, Linda. And, get to see Camel Rock.
