Boorooberongal Lake 

Join Troy Loveday to shoot a brand new location on the Penrith Lakes.

Boorooberongal Lake and its immediate surrounds were primarily designed to optimise attractiveness to wildlife whilst also supporting flood management, ecological water quality improvement and maintenance, providing suitable habitat and enabling research. Boorooberongal Precinct was named after one of the Aboriginal groups who occupied the land north of Castlereagh to beyond Richmond.

The Boorooberongal Precinct, which covers approximately 260 hectares, is bounded by Smith Road to the north, the Nepean River to the west, Castlereagh Escarpment to the east and Lake Burralow and Nepean Park Conservation zone to the south. The precinct and its immediate surroundings are characterised by a number of important landscape features such as wildlife corridors (in the Blue Mountains National Park and the Castlereagh Escarpment), remnant natural landscape (native flora and creek beds), Aboriginal heritage (in situ archaeological artefacts), early European heritage and historic properties such as Hadley Park, the Landers Inn and Howell’s House.

Getting there:

Turn west off Castlereagh Road towards Hadley Park Homestead. (refer map below)

Meet at 4.45 am at the gate halfway to the Hadley Park Homestead.  

First light is just after 5:00am so this will allow time to get into position. 

Please ensure you arrive early.  Latecomers will be locked out it is a restricted area and the gate must be locked behind us.
