The Woronora River is a pristine waterway running through deep valleys and peaceful surroundings. It is a place of great beauty offering boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming and fishing, with plenty of opportunity to stop off for a picnic and bushwalking.
Once the domain of the Indigenous Dharawal ‘freshwater people’, the mouth of the Woronora River was noted by the young adventurers Bass and Flinders during their exploration of the Georges River in 1795.
Woronora is said to be an Aboriginal word meaning ‘black rock’.
