ACTIVITIES
A combination of recreational activities complete the Roonka experience, with access available to all guests staying on site, or visiting for the day…
WATER-BASED:
THE BILLABONG
A great place for all ages to have a dip and cool off. Take your kayak in for a paddle or hire* one from Roonka. PFDs are available for all guests at no extra charge.
FLYING FOX
Jump on one of our flying foxes and go zooming from one side of the billabong to the other. If you fall off you get the added benefit of cooling off in the billabong below!
RIVERSLIDE
Come for a ride on our waterslide down on the river bank. Just have a chat to our friendly Volunteer Camp Host or Caretaker to get you sliding into the mighty Murray.
FISHING
Roonka is a great place to fish, whether it’s yabbying in the billabong or fishing off of the bank, one of our pontoons or in a boat. Gear is not supplied, so come prepared.
PADDLING
Kayaking and canoeing are great fun and the backwaters around Roonka are a wonderful place to explore. On your journey you will see many of the bird species and other wildlife that call the area home. If you prefer to stick closer to home or have young children the billabong is a great place to build up your paddling skills in a safe environment. If you don’t have your own kayak or canoe you are more than welcome to hire* one of ours for the day. You can book one prior to your stay or at check in.
RIVER AND BOAT LAUNCH ACCESS
Camping on the banks of the Murray comes with its perks like water skiing and tubing. Feel free to bring the boat along and make use of the boat launching area* and spend the day out on the water. All we ask is that you leave the jet skis at home and let us know if you are bringing a boat (we limit the number of vessels at Roonka to keep our visitors safe).
