Narooma Eurobodalla Coast

 

Narooma

Behind Narooma lies the sprawling Gulaga (Mount Dromedary) providing a wonderful backdrop to the towns' sparkling setting. Located on the beautiful Wagonga Inlet, Narooma has been a favourite holiday destination for many generations of families and with other happy visitors from near and far.

Built on land almost completely surrounded by the waters of Wagonga River, its estuary and the sparkling Pacific Ocean, Narooma's name comes from an aboriginal word meaning clear, blue water. These waterways have been the very reason for Narooma's existence, from its early days as a port for the transport of local produce and as a ship building centre and through its many years since, as a popular tourist destination.
