Junee Urban Wetlands

The Junee Urban Wetland is a hidden treasure and home to a variety of plants and animals. Explore the paths as they weave in and around the wetland. It’s a great place to take the kids and explore their region’s diverse plant and bird life.

The boardwalk around the wetland provides easy access for all ages and is a great way to get in some exercise while enjoying nature.

Junee Golf Club

The Junee Golf Club has one of the Riverina’s most interesting and challenging 18 hole, 72 par golf courses.

Club selection is vitally important on most holes as there are a couple with out of bounds. Even though there are no bunkers, other hazards await the unwary golfer.

Holes range from the 519 metre par 5 third with a slight dog-leg left, to the short par 3 eighth from an elevated tee to a green below protected in front by a dry creek bed.

A course suited to both the average and longer hitters, although accuracy is needed by all golfers.

A great course for a social hit or a competition round.

Bethungra Dam

Bethungra Dam Reserve Camping Area is a charming rural campsite with lovely scenic views that showcase the surrounding natural beauty. The area offers level camping sites, unisex drop toilets, and sheltered areas equipped with BBQs—just remember to bring your own firewood for an enjoyable cook-up. Rubbish bins are provided to help keep the reserve tidy. Plenty of shade makes it a comfortable choice during warmer weather. Adding to the laid‑back country feel, nearby grazing cattle are often seen, so a little care underfoot is advised. An excellent option for those seeking a peaceful outdoor escape in the countryside.

The dam covers an area of 14.65 hectares and holds 600 megalitres of water. It is on Crown Land and is managed by Junee Shire Council. Much of the land surrounding the dam is privately owned, while the remainder is leased for agricultural purposes.
