Holidaying in the Shoalhaven NSW

Hi there guys This will be my 2nd piece of advice so bear with me..........

The Shoalhaven boasts a wide range of popular natural attractions. As well as its magnificent beaches and waterways, the Shoalhaven is home to the famous and beautiful areas of Jervis Bay, the Kangaroo Valley,

Nowra is the largest coastal town on the NSW south coast and the business and administrative 'capital' of the Shoalhaven.
Nowra is the region's commercial and administrative centre. The major industries around Nowra include tourism, manufacturing and the presence of the Australian Navy.  There is a huge naval museum,very interesting for hubby and kids lol.

Shoalhaven River
The lazy expansive Shoalhaven River flows under the bridge at Nowra on its way to the coast at Shoalhaven Heads.
River cruises, photography and fishing are some of the popular experiences on this beautiful and precious waterway.To appreciate the full beauty of the river you need to go on a cruise up it. Its banks merge from picturesque, gentle rural flats to sheer rock faces breathtaking in their colour and ruggedness.This river is well looked after,we always swam in it as teenagers.Although Sydney is always taking water from it,which causes a bit of debate!

Nowra's adjoining town of Bomaderry is the southernmost coastal link to the NSW rail system from Sydney.
The population of Nowra / Bomaderry is around 25,000, this large because of the number of service men and women based here. The town is divided by the river running east to Shoalhaven Heads, and by the Princes Highway running north south.

Some of the main attractions are listed below

.Australian Naval Aviation Museum, Nowra--as I said great for hubby and kids to explore.

The Berry Bon Bon, Berry-- A great lollie shop with old fashion type lollies

Meroogal House, Nowra--house that was built in 1885 and is a gorgeous old house with guided tours

 
Nowra Animal Park, Nowra--This is a top place lots to see and do Crocodiles are a main attraction

Towns and villages situated around 15-20 min drive from Nowra include;

Culburra Beach, Currarong, Callala Bay and Beach, Myola, Huskisson, Vincentia, Hyams Beach, Green Patch and of course the small township of Jervis Bay itself.

These areas are my favourite places anywhere in Australia. We are so lucky to have wonderful beaches close by.
There are so many things to look at other than the beaches though including:

Laddie Timbery's Aboriginal Arts & Crafts, Huskisson--very pretty and cultural things to see

Lady Denman Maritime Museum, Huskisson--www.ladydenman.asn.au/

Lilliputland, Jervis Bay--mini railway very cool

Jervis Bay Botanic Gardens, Jervis Bay--a stunning display to view

There are so many more places to mention this is just the tip of the iceberg.
