Streamside Stays & Field Program
OBERON

PENARTH
On the banks of the Fish River Creek at Penarth we have  secured a  self catering cottage which accommodates six people. The cottage has three bedrooms and one bathroom.  Accommodation arrangements require members to bring their own bedlinen and  towels. Meals require self catering.
Refer below for booking dates and cost.

Penarth has approximately 4 to 5 kilometres of  fishable creek frontage on Fish River creek which is the only spawning stream for Oberon Dam. In past years the creek on Penarth fished very well in the early season with many good sized lake rainbows and browns from the Oberon Dam still present after their winter spawning runs.  Water condition is dependant on rainfalls, can be anything from low and clear to high and discoloured.
In addition to the creek fishing, there is a  farm dam which is regularly stocked.  

Dates for Penarth are:
Friday 1st to Tuesday 5th                    (4 nights) October 2010
Friday 29nd October to Monday 1st  (3 nights) November 2010 
Friday 26th to Monday 29th                (3 nights) November 2010
Friday 20th to Monday 23rd                (3 nights) May 2011

The cost of all the above dates will be $30 per head per night.

BILLABONG
Billabong Cottage is located on "Redbank", a property immediately drownstream from "Penarth" with some frontage to Fish River Creek.
The cottage is fairly new with 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Self catering for 6 people.

Dates for Billabong are:
Friday 11th to Sunday 13th                 (2 nights) March 2011

The cost of all above dates will be $40 per head per night

JINDABYNE

Lakeside accommodation at ‘PLATYPUS TOWNHOUSE’  has in the past  always been booked to coincide with the Cooma Land Owners Annual Dinner which is usually held in November.   The cottage is usually booked for seven nights in total and whilst it would be preferable for members and their guests to stay seven nights it is not essential -  short stays are welcome but subject to availability. The Lodge accommodates six people in three bedrooms and two bathrooms with bed linen and towels provided.
Refer below for booking dates and cost.

In the past years, the river fishing in the Thredbo River in November has been excellent with large numbers of late spawning rainbows and many resident browns present.  The quality of the lake fishing depends on the lake levels – in turn driven by winter snowfalls – but normally offers good daytime polaroiding along the shore line.  Plus, of course, unlimited early morning/evening/night fishing right outside the lodge!
 
Dates for Jindabyne at Platypus Townhouse are:
Friday 12th to Saturday 20th (Inclusive) November 2010

The cost for all of the above dates will be $40 per head per night.

LAKE NARAMBULLA

FLYFISHER COTTAGE is situated on the edge of Lake Narambulla in the NSW Southern Highlands. This well equipped cottage has three bedrooms and two bathrooms and comfortably accommodates three to four people. Accommodation arrangements require members to bring their own bedlinen and  towels. Meals require self catering.
Excellent kitchen and BBQ facilities are provided.
Refer below for booking dates and cost.

Lake Narambulla is located on the Hume Highway, halfway between Marulan and Goulburn. This large man-made lake (150 acres) contains a good number of both brown and rainbow trout. Recent fishing reports indicate an average size of fish caught to be between 3 and 5 pounds, all very well conditioned and hard fighting specimens. Hard to catch but certainly worth a try! 

Dates for Flyfisher Cottage at Lake Narambulla are to be advised.
 
The cost for all of the above dates will be $40 per head per night.
