Merimbula is a small town in the New South Wales region of Australia. It’s located about two and a half hours south of Sydney, nestled between the Sapphire Coast to the west and Bega Valley to the east.

Merimbula has been a popular tourist destination for over 140 years. The name Merimbula is derived from a local Aboriginal word meaning ‘two lakes’, a reference to Merimbula Lake on the southern side of the town and the smaller Back Lake on the northern side. These calm waterways on Australia’s Oyster Coast are popular with adventurous types who like to sail, kayak and stand-up paddleboard.

Beaches are a major attraction. Surfers like the 6km Merimbula Main Beach – when the swell is pumping, the sandbank at the northern end of Main Beach creates a good break. Short Point has consistent surf and million dollar views. Bar Beach is great for snorkelling, and shallow Spencer Park Beach and playground is ideal for families.

Discover a colourful array of sea creatures at Merimbula Aquarium, located on a horizontal rock shelf that juts out to sea. Wildlife abounds at Potoroo Palace, a sanctuary where you can amble amid kangaroos and touch a snake. An exciting range of tours is also available, from fishing charters to whale-watching cruises, diving and snorkelling.

Charge your fitness tracker as there are lots of walking trails around Merimbula, too. The lakeside Merimbula Boardwalk is sign-posted with information on the local marine life. Listen out for the lyrebirds along the 1.2km Goodenia Rainforest Walking Track. Just north is Bournda National Park and shimmering Wallagoot Lake.

Sample local seafood and produce at a range of restaurants, like Dulcie’s Cottage, housed in a 1925 weatherboard. Check out the events calendar for a colourful line-up of local festivals and shows, including Eat Merimbula.

Shopping in Merimbula is relaxed and laid-back. The town’s shopping centre features fashion, homewares, kids stuff and goodies from around the world.

If accommodation is what you need then you’ll find something for every budget from the Merimbula Inn to more affordable B&Bs scattered throughout town.

There’s also plenty for kids to do with playgrounds scattered along Main Beach and Spencer Park just waiting for them to explore every inch of it.

You can find everything from interesting eateries like Dulcies Cottage which has been open since 1925 up until contemporary dining spots like Cafe 44 on offer here too.

Attractions in Taree – Dolphin Watching

A great attraction in Taree is Amaroo Cruises.

Dolphin cruises run most days at 10:00am (weather permitting). Cruise duration is approximately 2½-3 hours and includes morning tea.

There are approximately 250-300 resident inshore Bottle-Nosed Dolphins inhabiting the waters of Forster/Tuncurry. These local Dolphins are our pride and joy and seem to be as interested in our vessel “The Amaroo” as we are in them. They will often come over to the boat on what we call “Human Watch”, where they check out who is on board today!

Further offshore we encounter Common Dolphins, sometimes massing in the hundreds all as one pod. Quite a spectacle to say the least! Our Dolphin Watch Cruises depart MOST DAYS at 10AM from late November to May

These Common Dolphins are very active. Groups often surface, jump, splash and play together. Often they will porpoise or leap from the water, performing exciting acrobatic displays. They are among the fastest Dolphins in the world, reaching speeds of 40km/h.

The third species of Dolphin we may also stumble upon is the Oceanic Dolphin. This species is the largest of all Dolphins we encounter. Oceanic Dolphins can grow to 2.5m and weigh in at a staggering 200kgs! Oceanics are also famous for their aerial acrobatics and freakish speed.

We may also encounter a variety of sea birds including Ospreys, White Bellied Sea Eagles, Whistling Kites, Gannets and Albatross to name a few. Also sharks, seals, penguins and turtles are frequently sighted.

Taree in New South Wales is a historic town on the banks of the beautiful Manning River. Nestled in the heart of the beautiful Manning Valley, this is an ideal place to enjoy cruises, boating fishing, and riverside walks. Delicious oysters are also farmed in the river and the nearby Great Lakes.

Established in 1854 as a private town, it was proclaimed a municipality in 1885 and a city in 1981. It derives its name from the Aboriginal tareebin, or tarrebit, referring to a local wild fig.

Taree is situated on the Sydney-Brisbane rail line and the Pacific Highway 80 miles (130 km) northeast of Newcastle. There is also a small regional airport. It is the principal city of the Manning River district, which yields dairy products, timber, fish, vegetables, and corn (maize). Industries include meat and dairy processing, sawmilling, the manufacture of wood products, and boatbuilding. Taree has a tourist trade based on the nearby mountains and coastal scenery. The city has a regional art gallery that hosts cultural programs and touring exhibitions.

The town is a major service centre on the New South Wales Mid North Coast. It is idyllically located at a point where the Manning River is wide and deep. The town is located 16 km from the mouth of the Manning River and is surrounded by rich rural farmland. This fertile land supports dairy farms, beef cattle, and the timber industry still prosper. It is an ideal place to stop and take a leisurely walk along the river or have a picnic in the riverside parklands.

You’ll find plenty of cafes, pubs and restaurants in Taree, serving fresh produce and seafood from the area. The Sicilian Restaurant offers inspired Italian dining experiences.
