Things to do at Narooma NSW Australia
5 places to visit and things to do in Narooma are
- The Wharf
- Australia Rock
- Glasshouse Rocks
- Montague Island
- Mill Bay Boardwalk
Narooma is situated on the coast of New South Wales, Australia.
I visited Narooma at the start of September, which is spring weather.
Three places to visit in Narooma are the wharf, Australia Rock, and the Glasshouse Rocks to inspire creativity.
1 The Wharf
Sit by the wharf along Wagonga Inlet. Watch the boats come and go. Feel the spring warmth and breathe in the fresh air.
As the water flows over the rock wall, be mesmerized by its rhythm.
And, the seagulls fly around and squawk.
An ideal spot to eat lunch on a sunny day in spring.
2 Australia Rock
Drive around up to the cliff. Down the one-way road, where you turn right and drive along the water's edge towards the end of the road. There is a small carpark that looks out over the Pacific Ocean. On the cliffside, you will find Australia Rock.
The Illawarra Mercury outlines the history of Australia Rock. Its past has an interesting story. Previously, it was the 'Hole in the Rock'.
Back up to the top of the cliff at the lookout, is the view over the rocky coast.

3 Glasshouse Rocks near the cemetery
The land nearby the Glasshouse Rocks is private property.
Therefore, the closest view is from the cemetery which lies at the end of Cemetery Rd.
To get to the beach includes a steep descent down the cliff.
The beach is unpatrolled and has rips and rocks which makes swimming not possible.
As a photographer with mobility issues, the best view is to stand at the top of the cliff inside the fence at Narooma cemetery.
4 Montague Island Tour
Montague Island is known as Barunguba by the Aboriginal people in the local area.
To visit Montague Island you need to book a tour. Narooma Charters organizes tours to the island.
Things you can do and see on the Montague Island Tours are
- Watch the Whales between September and middle of November
- See the Seals
- Snorkel with the Seals
- Fish
- See the Penguins
- See Dolphins
- Watch the Sunset
- Sightsee at the Lighthouse
- Walk around the Island
See the different tours to choose from at Narooma Charters.

Glad you got to go before the fires!
Me too, Hera. I had gone at the beginning of spring, and the fires started late spring. I had never been to most of the towns in that area. The communities and wildlife are doing it tough.
It would be wonderful to sit at the wharf along Wagonga Inlet to watch the boats. We like boats.
It’s lovely, Missy.
Australia has always been on my bucket list! Maybe one day!
Hope so too, Michele
