Brief history of Wambiri

Wambiri is an aboriginal word meaning "meeting place." 

In the early 1960s the Anglican Parish of Bega sought through the NSW Government to lease a parcel of land close to the beachfront at Tathra for the purposes of establishing a Camping Area for use especially by youth.

Over the next few years a camp site was developed and at the request of the Bega Parish, Wambiri was taken over by the Anglican Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn.

Diocesan Parish groups, non-Anglican Church groups, State School groups, and other community groups catering for youth interests in particular have been, and continue to be, frequent users.

The well-kept playing ovals provide plenty of space for a diverse range of activities.

Wambiri has become more than a simple camp-site.

 There are now two ablutions blocks in place (both incorporate a laundry and automatic washing machines), a large dining room which seats 80 at any one sitting, a commercial style stainless steel kitchen which incorporates a commercial dishwasher, sleeping accommodation for up to 80 persons in bedrooms in two buildings which range in size from 2-bed to 10 bed spaces.

Quiet and reflective!
Despite its semi-urban village type location, Wambiri projects an atmosphere of quiet and reflective mood, and due to it being surrounded by long-developed native trees and shrubs camp participants usually remark that Wambiri seems unaffected by close residential housing and main road traffic.
This enables small group work to flourish out-of-doors, and yet both the Dining Room and the General Purpose Hall can be used for indoor lessons, study, and activities. 

The close proximity to dining, ablutions (cleaned daily), and bedroom facilities usually mean that daily needs can be met with a minimum of fuss. Two open grassed spaces allow a multitude of recreational and sporting activities all within the Wambiri complex, though the availability of Tathra Beach and the close proximity of other sports attractions usually allow a greater number of recreational activities to be planned.
