    Notice of 1080 Dog and fox baiting program

    NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting an ongoing ground baiting program from the 12th May 2026 to Friday 30th October 2026 in Budawang National Park. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of feral animals including wild dogs and foxes.

    The program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, especially threatened species, and to minimise impact of wild dogs on neighbouring stock.

    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.

    Please contact the local Shoalhaven Area office for more information: Nowra 02 44286300, Ulladulla 02 44549500

    Penalties apply for non-compliance.

About

An entrance to Budawang National Park but much more besides, Long Gully picnic area is your first glimpse of the wilderness within. Facilities are basic, but all you need for a terrific picnic is a packed lunch and an appreciation for nature. This is a remote and secluded spot for people wanting to break away from civilisation for a day. The nearby campground lets you stretch it out to a long weekend if you'd prefer.

Settle down beneath a blackbutt tree and watch the wallabies go by, foraging in the undergrowth. Bring a ball and take advantage of the open space beside Yadboro River.

This is also a good jumping-off point for the advanced hiking opportunities into the Budawangs area of Morton National Park, including the Castle; the trail leaves from here. Day walks in the national park should only be attempted by well-equipped, experienced walkers. Don't forget to tell somebody where you're going.
