Kianinny Bay picnic area
Kianinny Bay picnic area is found at the end of Davidson St in Tathra. The picnic area leads off the boat ramp's parking area. Kianinny Bay picnic area has an electric BBQ hot plate underneath a shelter. The picnic area also boasts a number of tables, grass clearing, toilets and a playground.

  The program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, especially threatened species and will take place in:
  
  Araluen Nature Reserve
  
  Badja Swamps Nature Reserve
  
  Beowa National Park
  
  Berlang State Conservation Area
  
  Bondi Gulf Nature Reserve
  
  Bournda National Park

  Signs will be placed at the entry to baiting locations. Domestic pets are not permitted in NSW National Parks managed lands.
  
  Pets and working dogs may be affected (1080 is lethal to cats and dogs). Pets and working dogs must be restrained or muzzled in the vicinity and must not enter the baiting location. In the event of accidental poisoning seek immediate veterinary assistance.
