Blackwood River National Park

The township of Augusta is situated on the mouth of the Blackwood River and for a different experience why not rent a houseboat from here and steam upstream to truly immerse yourself in the landscape.

The area is of very high conservation value due to the diversity and abundance of birdlife and protected vegetation communities. The orchids put on quite the show as do the large aggregations of black swans feeding on the tidal flats.
