 The eccentricities of host Brian adds to the great bush camping, Wollondilly River Station offers, 2 1/2 hours south of Sydney. With minimal facilities (portaloos) the station offers the opportunity to get away from all the rush of city life and chill out for a few days.
You can get up close to the wildlife:- including lizards, goannas, platypus, water rats, goats, wallabies, snakes and a wide variety of birds.
The river banks offer wide flat areas ideal for camping in tents or camper trailers. As this part of the river is fed from the Shoalhaven River to top up Lake Burragorang (Warragamba Dam), it is wide and has a good flow, making it an ideal spot for canoeing, kayaking and swimming.
There is plenty of shade so you can choose to have a lazy day chatting with friends and watching the world go by. Dogs are welcome, though they do scare off the wildlife. I was able to observe and photograph the lizard above for around 10 minutes as it warmed itself after a swim in the river. It finally moved off when an inquisitive dog ventured too close.
