Mollymook

At the northern end of Ulladulla is Mollymook with its two golf courses and patrolled surf beach. The name is thought to derive from an albatross, the 'Mollymawk'. The first settlers to take up residence in that particular area built a house called 'Molly Moke' in 1859 where Garside Road is today.

If you turn seawards into Mitchell Pde at the southern end of Tallwood Ave it will take you out to Bannisters Point where there is a lookout.

Narrawallee Creek and Pattimores Lagoon

Just north of Mollymook are the calm, shallow waters, mangroves and mudflats of the inlet to Narrawallee Creek which is an ideal spot for children. The inlet lies at the southern end of Narrawallee Creek Nature Reserve which stretches north for 5 km along Buckleys and Conjola Beaches. Largely undisturbed these beaches are good spots for fishing and surfing and are backed by a dune system adjoined by woodland through which there is a circular walking track.

Ulladulla Wildflower Reserve

On the corner of Green and Warden St, next to the swimming pool, is Ulladulla Wildflower Reserve (12 hectares). There are over 100 plant types, mostly waratah and Christmas bush, but also ferns, creepers, shrubs, ground and tree orchids and herbaceous plants under a canopy of eucalypt and turpentine.
