Wallaga Lake Sunset

You take a thousand pictures to get a good one, like oysters with the rare pearl. It's true, and I used to say I'm not a good photographer. If anyone took as many pictures as I do, they'd be standing up here, too. It's a lot to do with generosity, just taking thousands and thousands of pictures, and then where the art comes in is the editing. ~ Nan Goldin

On the other side of the lake, you can see Gulaga Mountain and Gulaga National Park. This part of the park was previously the Wallaga Lake National Park. The park was handed back to its Aboriginal original owners in 2006.

Art allows you to imbue the truth with a sort of magic, so it can infiltrate the psyches of more people, including those who don't believe the same things as you. ~ Wangechi Mutu

By my intimacy with nature I find myself withdrawn from man. My interest in the sun and the moon, in the morning and the evening, compels me to solitude.

Where is Wallaga Lake in New South Wales?

In the below map, you can find the location on the south coast of NSW Australia.

Driving from the north on the Princes Hwy, you'll turn left onto Bermagui Rd, then right onto Wallaga Lake Rd. Then, you'll come across a one-lane bridge, Wallaga Lake Bridge, and it crosses over the lake before Payne's Island. So you'll know you have found it.

If you would like to miss the one-lane bridge, then stay on Princes Hwy until Cobargo where you'll turn left at Cobargo Bermagui Rd, then you'll turn left into Wallaga Lake Rd.

And, it's about 7 km from Bermagui town on the Sapphire coast.
