Ness, Wapengo
Ness is a heritage-listed natural coastal reserve at Reserve Road, Wapengo, Bega Valley Shire, New South Wales, Australia. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.

In 1985 the owners of Ness, Professor Manning Clark and his wife, Dymphna Clark, wishing to protect the area's heritage and scenic values nominated the property for a Permanent Conserva ...
