Gerringong - South Coast NSW
The South Coast has such diverse beauty including the escarpment of the Great Dividing Range and the hinterland below as well as some of the most unspoilt and accessible coastline in Australia.

Driving South from Sydney, from Sydney the magnificent Pacific Ocean is revealed as you descend the Illawarra escarpment just prior to reaching Wollongong, at Bulli Pass. A hint at the beauty that lies ahead is further revealed .just before Kiama with the first glimpse of Bombo Beach with the iconic Kiama Lighthouse in the distance.
Kiama is a beautiful seaside town located about 130km south of Sydney and sits perfectly between the escarpment of the Southern Highlands and the Pacific Ocean. The hinterland of this region is probably one of the most beautiful in the country.
A really ‘wow’ moment comes about 5km south of Kiama when the highway winds around a section where the mountains meet the coast – the Kiama Bends – and the beauty of the Southcoast is revealed at Mount Pleasant.
The vista is spectacular with Werri Beach and the iconic surf village of Gerringong in the fore with Mount Coolangatta and the escarpments running off in the distance as far as the eye can see.
The northern end of Werri Beach is the start/end of the magnificent Kiama Coastal Walk, a unique experience that provides access to a remarkable stretch of the coastal cliffs and rock pools. It connects with Kiama at Loves Bay.
Gerringong grew out of the early timber cutters (cedar) and Boat Harbour, at the southern end of town, provided the means of transporting the timber to Wollongong and Sydney. As a result of the clearing, and its good rainfall, the lush landscape enabled the town to develop as a dairy village. With its wonderful beaches and awesome coastline, Gerringong natural progressed into tourism and today it has a perfect mix to without being too busy or too crowed in the peak times.
