Malua Bay

Postcode: 2536

Malua Bay (postcode: 2536) is a town and a bay in the South Coast region of the state of New South Wales, Australia. Malua Bay is administered by the Eurobodalla Shire council.

The town is located on George Bass Drive, about 10 mins drive from Batemans Bay

It is about 280km (175 miles) south of Sydney, 760 km (475 miles) north of Melbourne, and 160 km east of Canberra via the Kings Highway.

With its headwaters located in the pristine high country behind the NSW South Coast, the Clyde River, near which the town stands, is acknowledged as the purest river in Australia and its flow is integral to a flourishing oyster industry.

The lure of succulent oysters and crayfish apart, Batemans Bay is a prized destination both for fishermen and holiday-makers drawn by the combination of river cruises, great golf courses, bush walks, superb beaches to the north and south of the town and a vigorous club and restaurant scene.

The fishing attractions, of course, stem from Batemans Bay's location on the estuary of the Clyde River. Anglers have the choice of river, beach, rock and ocean fishing options. Batemans Bay, of course, was introduced to the world game-fishing stage by famous US novelist and sportsman Zane Gray, who wrote glowingly of this part of the NSW south coast after landing a black marlin during his visit in the early 1930s.
