Wallaroo is a large regional town with a strong maritime sector including a commercial shipping wharf and grain terminal, a professional fishing fleet, a recreational marina, and a large housing estate with waterfront boat access. A full range of services and supplies is available, with the unfortunate exception of a fuel berth – fuel is supplied by a tanker truck, and the minimum quantity is far in excess of what a typical cruising yacht can take.
Berths are available for rental in the marina (known as the Copper Cove Marina) and the following link can be used for further information . coppercovemarina.com.au . Unfortunately berths are no longer available for rental via a central booking system. Now it is necessary to contact the owners of berths which may be advertised privately for rent. This is not a satisfactory system, but at the time of writing there appears to be no other choice.
Anchoring is possible off the beach north of the marina entrance channel, and a dinghy landing can be made either on the beach, or at the boat launching ramp just inside this entrance.
