CASUARINA SANDS RESERVE

Public BBQ

A river reserve on the Murrumbidgee west of Canberra, and by many accounts the best swimming spot near the city: clean, fresh water, a sandy bank to dig your feet into and a rope swing over the river, though there are rocks beneath it so let go early. There are sheltered barbecue areas, picnic tables, clean toilets with an outdoor shower, a small playground, a car park and plenty of walking trails. It is good for kayaking and paddleboarding too. Check the water quality before swimming, and be aware the river is less appealing after overnight rain. Signs warn of snakes and eastern browns have been seen near the water. Flies are bad in summer and there is no phone reception at all, which is much of the appeal. Busy through summer, very peaceful off peak.
