Going to
Wuruma dam in a weeks time. Can anyone tell me if we can take a small caravan reasonably close to the
water and leave the boat in the
water? Or should I take the portable trailer and launch and recover each day? Is there potable
water available on site? cheers and thanks in advance.

Sunwater has it at 16% capacity as of 2/12/2010. Might be dodging the dead trees and logs at that level

Sounds like it is at record levels LOL Normally sits at 2% for the last 15 years IIRC. ;)

G’day petengail,
No problem with a van of any size. There’s plenty of room and you can
camp right on the
water, though, you would probably prefer to have it on the trailer and
camp a bit further away with the shade of the trees.
Myles.

Thanks Myles - I will probably
camp in the shade and just leave the boat in the
water. Thanks for the pics too. BTW - I sold lotto tickets for 10 years and only sold one winner lol

Yep… I’ll keep buying and consider it a donation to someone else’s fortune.
P.S. Photos were taken in July this year.

Further…. It’s a fair distance from the
water to the shade and it’s likely that the boat wouldn’t be visible on the
water line from your
camp. The photos are a bit misleading. There were only three other campers when we were there so the likelihood of it being stolen would be slim. Maybe wouldn’t leave tackle box and rods in it. I liked the area…. Pretty rugged except for some amenities.
Myles.

UPDATE:
Just read that the dam is now 100% full for the first time in 40 years.
Not bad 16% to 100% is less than 30 days
Paradise Dam is at 138% with the flood gates open.
