JANDOWAE DAM

Public BBQ

A quiet dam outside Jandowae with sheltered tables and bench seats, wood-fired barbecues, toilets including a wheelchair-accessible one, and cold showers. There is a boat ramp, and when the water is up it takes swimming, kayaking, skiing and fishing, with yabbies for the patient. The birdlife is the standout in any season - black swans, pelicans, galahs, cockatoos, finches, eagles and more besides. A handful of sites make a very small free camp, room for about five vans, with firewood usually about. Sunsets and night skies over the water are superb. Be warned that the level swings hard: full and muddy one year, all but empty the next, and the camping area turns boggy when it is high. Bindis are everywhere, so keep shoes on. The town is close, with a good butcher.
