A look at the past...
Lake Tabourie, Bawley Point, East Lynne, Termeil, Durras

lake-tabourie-webSteamships were once built here at Bawley Point. Much of the timber used in the construction of these ships came from Termeil timber; a horse drawn train was loaded with logs and it clip-clopped its way into Bawley Point to be sawn by the timber mill, built in 1910, and at one time employing 72 men.

Visitors to Bawley Point or to neighbouring literary-sounding East Lynne can enjoy tranquil beaches, headlands and lagoons where the prawns are a local delicacy, in season. Much of the area here has been reserved as a sanctuary for wildlife.  

Warm currents extend the swimming season with miles of quiet beaches and headlands fronting the south Pacific Ocean, which is studded with attractive small islands. Behind the ocean lie the lakes of Termeil, Meroo and Willinga, where vegetation and picturesque views create an idyllic setting to the backdrop of Pigeon House Mountain. The district offers all kinds of fishing, surfing and swimming for all ages. Fburrill-lakeor the bushwalker there are interesting paths to take through the bush or the Kioloa Forest.

While in the district, seek out the small roadside cafes and shops where some of the walls and counters are thick with show awards for pies, rolls, cakes and other mouth-watering goodies – all produced in country kitchens. The Tabourie Tuckerbox has a great all day breakfast so why not stop in for a bite to eat or visit the Termeil Trading Post for the newspaper or magazine.

The coffee is always fresh and up to any world-class standard while the local wineries offer wine tasting to passing visitors. Well worth spending a few minutes getting to know the locals.

Galleries are to be found hereabouts offering a diverse range of works from woodcuts and sculptures to the finest of brushwork featuring some of the wildlife; birds, animals and flora in spectacular realism. A good investment by any standard.

Accommodation is found in a range of styles from small basic cabins and van parks to some of the most glamourous guest houses along the coast.
