In addition to these exciting activities, be sure to visit the Yuin Cultural Markets Marquee and Bush Tucker to discover First Nations foods, artworks and crafts. Unleash your inner character in with face painting for a small charge in the Picnic Zone, or hop aboard the Youth Van for some interactive fun.
And of course, don’t forget to explore the waterfront playground and enjoy some playtime on the sandy shores of Wagonga Inlet, especially while the tide is low until mid-afternoon.
Make sure to also wander through the markets, where you’ll find lolly shops, kids’ clothing, toys, and so much more!
