Bakers
Bend

dirt track.

folklore states that this water hole has never gone dry. Plenty
of great fishing yarns have originated from this site as well
as tales of murder and mayhem during the early years of settlement.
This is a wonderful camp site, the banks are grassy, there are
huge shady trees and the peace and quite is a welcome change from
the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

(one kilometre on bitumen, five kilometres on dirt road) to the

"Dillalah" is an Aboriginal word meaning Galah. While
waiting to catch your dinnner, do a spot of bird watching and
see if you can spot a "Dillalah" as well as many other
species of birdlife that visit the area. Back to the fish! There
is good fishing either side of the bridge, while approximately
two kilometres downstream there is a camping area.

River Red Gums swaying in the breeze, stoking the fire while your
sausages sizzle away, catching that elusive yellowbelly while
laughing with the kookaburras for a change. The weather's great,
town's only 20 kilometres away and you've finally been able to
pick up your book (you put it down two months ago). The
Ward River (160 kilometres) hasn't changed much since it was named
by W.A Tully in 1863. The
Ward River is a favourite with both visitors and locals alike
and every year in May the local Fishing and Restocking Club hold
their annual fishing competition.
