Due to COVID requirements all campers will be required to book in advance. No camping will be permitted without a booking. Bendeela is fully booked for camping on Saturday 4 December 2021 and from Sunday 26 December 2021 to Sunday 2 January 2022.

Public movement across the wall at Hume dam is restricted while we undertake important routine maintenance checks on post tension anchors.

WARNING – The only access road connecting the east side of Menindee Lakes with the west side is closed due to flooding. This road is located below the main weir and will be closed indefinitely due to large inflows and subsequent releases being made from the lakes. Access from one side of the lakes to the other will only be possible via the township of Menindee, a 45km round trip.

Tallowa Dam is spilling and caution is advised when launching or retrieving canoes. Due to COVID requirements all Lake Yarrunga remote campers will be required to book in advance.
