Doe's anyone know whether
Dunns Swamp (NSW) is open at the moment?
I know that the northern part of the Wollemi Ntnl park was closed due to the bush fires recently, but after doing a search I can't find out if it is currently open or not.
The RFS website lists it as "Patrol", & I've been phoning the
Mudgee NPWS but no one answers.
Any info would be appreciated, as we are heading out that way this weekend.
Also can small outboards be used on the
dam?? or is it only for unpowered craft?

Yes, it is open.
I spent between Christmas and New Year there. You can have a
camp fire in the built fireplaces (so long as there is no total fire ban) and the firewood is even supplied. There is a huge pile near one of the
toilets.
Yes, you can have small outboards as
well. Don't quote me but I think only up to about 4 knots on the water.
There are some limited supplies available off the guy who hires out the canoes. You can
check him out on www.wollemiafloat.com.au
He brought out ice for me each morning for $3.50 a bag.
Dunns Swamp would be one of my favourite spots in NSW. As I live in
Bathurst it is only about an hour and half away. At only $3 per night per person it is great value.
Cheers

Bigfella.
Thanks for that, it was a toss up between
Newnes &
Dunns Swamp for the weekend.
I'd prefer
Dunns Swamp because I want to try out my new Porta-Bote & give the camper a go, first time for both.
