Durras Lake is a shallow, sinuous estuary that cuts through the heart of the Greater Murramarang National Park on the New South Wales South Coast. Approximately six kilometers long with a water area of 3.214 square kilometers, it is a classic barrier estuarine lake, intermittently connected to the Tasman Sea between the villages of North and South Durras. The lake is fed by several creeks, including Benandarah, Bridge, and Ryans/Cumbralaway Creeks, draining a catchment of over 5,000 hectares. Characterized by brackish water mixing oceanic and freshwater sources, it is a significant wetland area surrounded by rainforest, spotted gum forests, and burrawang palms. This productive ecosystem is a prolific breeding ground for prawns and fish, making it a renowned recreational fishing haven with a focus on shallow sand flats and structure fishing.
