Wonboyn

The picturesque fishing village of Wonboyn is located 30km south of Eden and is surrounded by pristine forests, unspoilt beaches and abundant animal and birdlife. It is the perfect getaway to our most remote and pristine beaches, renowned for its breathtaking beauty of water and wilderness and particularly significant for bushwalkers, birdwatchers and fishermen.

Wonboyn has a reputation second to none for some of the finest lake, estuary, beach and land based game fishing on the coast. Wonboyn Lake winds a 10-kilometre course before it meets a fairly narrow channel into the sea at Disaster Bay. The lake is renowned for its huge flathead and catches of bream, luderick, whiting, jewfish, trevally and tailor. From the beach, tailor, bream, salmon and whiting are all rewarded to the angler. The backwaters of the lake are dotted with oyster leases, fresh from the lake right on to your plate. There is a boat ramp, picnic area and accommodation options are all available.

You can find a small yet secluded picnic area at both ends of Disaster Bay called Greenglades & Baycliff. These two locations are renowned for fishing and that elusive trout can be yours for the eating. The local store can provide bait & fishing supplies as well as a wealth of local knowledge on the most desirable fishing locations. Best discovered by boat as you enter the lake mouth, sandy shoals and channels open to rolling surf and untouched beaches where dingos, dolphins and deserted sand hills can all be discovered.
