Araluen means "place of the water lilies" and this area is as close as you can get to the original, natural Australia. Drive along Deua River and through Deua National Park and take in views of massive termite mounds, ghostly gum trees and hopping wallabies. Myths abound of the human-sized water dragons that hang, unnoticed, from the gum trees. A peaceful camping area along the river offers the perfect escape. A visit to this area is essential for anyone who wants to experience wild, wooded Australia.
