    Notice of 1080 ground baiting program

    NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting an ongoing ground baiting program from Tuesday 21 July 2026 to Monday 21 December 2026. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of foxes.

    The program will take place in:

    - Comerong Island Nature Reserve

    - Conjola National Park

    - Meroo National Park

    - Murramarang National Park

    - Narrawallee Creek Nature Reserve

    - Seven Mile Beach National Park.

    The program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, especially nesting threatened shorebird species.

    Signs will be placed at the entry to the baiting location. Domestic pets are not permitted in NSW National Parks managed lands. Pets and working dogs may be affected (1080 is lethal to cats and dogs). Pets and working dogs must be restrained or muzzled in the vicinity and must not enter the baiting location. In the event of accidental poisoning seek immediate veterinary assistance.

    Penalties apply for non-compliance. For further information call the NPWS Nowra area office on 02 4428 6300.

About

A stay at this coastal cottage has something for everyone. Fishers can cast a line and bring home the evening catch. Kayakers can hit the water all day. There's a variety of surrounding trails for bushwalkers to explore, including short walks around North Head and Acheron Ledge walking track nearby. Enjoy the water view from the shaded timber deck and a swim at the sheltered beach, tucked away from the crowds.

The refurbished beach house has all the modern comforts. Huge windows bring the outside in, and you'll feel immersed in nature. The only other property nearby is Yellow Rock Beach House, 100m away. Judges House was formerly owned by a Supreme Court judge and enjoyed as a family getaway. It's great for active families, friends travelling together, bushwalkers and couples on a quiet getaway.

In winter, it's an ideal spot for whale watching. Bird watchers will love it here at any time of the year. Murramarang National Park abounds in bird life, from owl species to sea birds and even a penguin colony.
