    Park Fire Ban - Hawkesbury-Nattai Reserves

    A park fire ban is in place in this park and remains in effect unless otherwise extended or removed. During park fire ban periods, all campfire and solid fuel (wood, heat beads, charcoal, briquettes, hexamine) barbecues and stoves are prohibited. Gas and electric barbecues and cookers are permitted as long as:

    • They're under direct control of an adult
    • The ground within 2m of the barbecue is cleared of all flammable materials
    • There's an adequate supply of water (minimum of a bucket)

    However, the following campgrounds are exempt in the following reserves:

    • Yellomundee Regional Park

      • Shaws Creek Aboriginal Place

    If a Total Fire Ban is in place, different rules apply. Contact the local park office before bringing a gas or electric barbecue or cooker.
    Penalties apply for non-compliance. For more information about fire bans in parks and reserves including your responsibilities, visit the NSW National Parks fire safety page.

About

Werri Berri picnic area is fantastic for family outings and is just a short drive from Tahmoor and Picton. Pack a rug, something to cook, and a frisbee, then you'll be all set for a lovely day out.

Unroll your picnic blanket under the shade of a eucalyptus tree, then open a book, sit back and relax in this charming and scenic spot. This uncrowded lakeside location is the perfect place for enjoying a feast thanks to its flat, grassy surface and free gas barbecues.

For those who want more activity, you can take an easy walk along the Thirlmere Lakes walking track, or check out some local history at the nearby Heritage Pump Station.
