| From
Smithton the Bass Highway cuts across the
northwest corner to the rich farming settlement of MARRAWAH on the
west coast. Situated
on the top corner of the West Coast Marrawah is a small village surrounded
by rich farming land and scenic coastline. There are great places to camp
at Green Point, and Arthur River, 15km to
the south provides excellent fishing and is a great place for collectors
of driftwood.
Thirty kilometres along the way, a 1500-metre trail leads
through a swamp at the grumpily named Dismal Swamp Nature Reserve.
Marrawah itself has a small store, and the Marrawah Tavern serves
plain but filling meals. Greenpoint Beach, which has been voted one
of the three best surfing beaches in Australia, is 2km from
Marrawah and has a small camping area.
