You will not hear about this place from the locals because they want to keep it to themselves. A terrific place for a barbecue and a leisurely swim, Uriarra River may be remote, but it is well worth the drive. The sandy shores are lined with pine trees and the river is dimpled with rocks, just waiting for someone to sunbathe on their warm surfaces. With children splashing, dogs romping and people laughing, the atmosphere is one of perpetual summer holidays, even if it happens to be one of the other three seasons.
