EXPLORE THE ILLAWARRA

The Illawarra is a huge region with plenty of fun towns, a buzzing city, awesome markets, cool festivals, community events and a super diverse landscape to explore. 

You can take a dip in an ocean pool, relax on the beach, chase some waterfalls, head out for a hike and find a secluded water hole to cool off in afterwards. 

Or head into town for some retail therapy, grab a frothie at a local brewery, get a caffeine hit at a funky café, take in a live show or head to a local market to fill up the pantry and support local. 

So much to do across this pretty special region of ours… let’s get started!
