Deua National Park - What's it like?

Going there this weekend to Bendethra. It is God's country. A real piece of paradise. Go there, you won't be disappointed.

There certainly were fires, and you can see where, but, its greened up nicely and well worth a visit.

Bendethera is a great spot - try the drive around the valley via Dampier FT, Minuma Ft, Momgamula FT & Merricumbene FT.
Get a copy of the Batemans Bay State Forest map 1:125 000 - it covers a large area but the track info is fairly accurate.Subaru Forester
size isn't everything !

G'day Froilan
It's a great spot! One of my main haunts.

Also going there over the long weekend.

Cheers

Wahooo....its gonna get crowded then because myself and Rossco are heading down also (probably on Sunday)

Who else is coming? :-)

Froilan,

I travelled to bendethera last week via Braidwood and then out to Moruya. I camped for three nights and did the walk up to Bendethera Caves. I saw one other vehicle the whole time but sadly there was plenty of garbage and broken bottles in some areas left by the previous weekends visitors. The valley is a huge area with plenty of camping space and is unaffected by fire damage.

When I decided to leave, due to the very high winds, the only exit was blocked by a couple of very large fallen trees between the Deua River crossing and the NPWS notice board. It is highly likely that these trees would have been cleared by the weekend, but it may be an idea to check first for those who are planning a trip.

The wind was so strong it even blew the dunny over at the homestead ruins.
