July Winter may be here, but the cooler weather is no reason to stay indoors or miss out on enjoying the South Coast. The whale migration season is underway, with plenty of easily accessible vantage points available on the South Coast to catch a glimpse of these impressive creatures. There are also plenty of opportunities for winter camping and other outdoor activities in Booderee National Park and beyond. Read about them on pages 14 and 27. When it comes to keeping the kids occupied these school holidays, the South Coast offers plenty of options. Page 11 has a host of school holiday activity suggestions. Two events not to be missed are the 57th Annual Family Fishing Carnival in Sussex Inlet from 6-11 July and Erth @ the Fly from 5-7 July. See pages 3 and 4 for the details. As always, there’s plenty of live entertainment around the South Coast

this month ranging from performances of The Odd Couple at Shellharbour’s Roo Theatre and Sinbad the Sailor by Nowra Players, through to Geoff Lang at the Milton Theatre and renowned chamber musicians Ironwood at Bundanon Trust’s Boyd Education Centre, Riversdale. And that’s just a few. Find details of these and lots more live entertainment throughout this edition. Don’t forget, the iMag brand is 20 years old this year, having grown into a network of seven independently owned magazines across key NSW tourism regions. It’s our birthday, but you get the presents. Page 16 has more information about how you can enter our birthday celebration competition and be in the running for some great iMag birthday prizes. See you around the South Coast.

Kiama - Jamberoo Kiama The coastal town of Kiama is said to gain it’s name from the aboriginal word Kiaram-a which when translated from the local aboriginal language

The Terrace Gift Shoppe

www.southcoastimag.com.au

“where the sea makes a noise”, is undoubtedly referring to the famous ‘Kiama Blowhole’. Walking tracks ensure that you can visit the Lighthouse, Kiama Harbour and both the Main and Little Blowhole with ease. Fishing, beach swimming and exploring the rock pools are also great activities. Cafes line the main street for those looking for a bite to eat and the Sandstone Terrace Shops make a great place to browse with friends. The Kiama Terraces in Collins Street date from around 1886 and are now classified by the National Trust.

Jamberoo

Jamberoo was opened up for grazing in the 19th century and, at the time, much of the original rainforest was shipped out to Sydney as building material. Jamberoo was settled in the 1820's when it abounded in dense vegetation and rainforest.

Jamberoo today is a small but quaint village and visitors will enjoy a leisurely drive out to the town past the rolling hills and countryside. Minnamurra Rainforest Reserve and Jamberoo Recreation Park are top attractions in the area to check out.

What to See & Do ■ Enjoy the many shops, boutiques and cafes. Check out the Kiama Terraces. ■ Take a walk in the Minnamurra Rainforest or head to Illawarra Fly Treetop walk. ■ Visit the famous Kiama Blowhole or the Little Blowhole.

Gerringong - Gerroa Gerringong Cleared by cedar cutters, Gerringong developed as a dairying village at the centre of rich pastures. More recently it has become a holiday town, popular with those who prize its beaches, glorious surroundings and proximity to Sydney. A variety of quality accommodation is available as well as many shops and cafes in the main street to enjoy. The local Crooked River Winery has beautiful wine to both purchase or enjoy with a meal in their restaurant whilst overlooking the picturesque pastures of the winery. Open on weekends, the Gerringong Heritage Museum is located in Blackwood St, displaying information about Gerringong’s interesting past.

an abundance of activities to while away a weekend!

What to See & Do

Gerroa

■ Visit the Village Craft Shop - they have very affordable, handmade gifts.

Gerroa is the closest town to Seven Mile Beach National Park, a grand and inspiring sweep of sand with an extensive dune system and a wealth of bird and mammal life. Gerroa developed as a holiday town, although Seven Mile Beach had been used for horse racing as early as the 1860s. In 1933, aviator Charles Kingsford-Smith used this beach as the runway for his pioneering flight across the Tasman to New Zealand. Gerroa offers easy access to several national parks and fine beaches as well as many of the prime attractions of the Illawarra, such as wineries, quaint country towns and historic attractions.

■ Enjoy a walk along the beach at Werri or Seven Mile Beach, or try surfing at Gerroa. ■ Take a dip in the rockpools at one end of Werri Beach or the natural lagoon at the other, perfect for kids.

Grab a coffee, snack or meal at Sea Vista, Scoops or Zoobs in the town centre.

Relax with a day spa treatment at the Mercure Resort Gerringong by the Sea.

Berry - Shoalhaven Heads Berry Set amongst rolling green hills with the backdrop of the stunning Cambewarra range, its striking landscape is unparalleled.

The surrounding area is dotted with many boutique wineries of note and the restaurants and local gourmet food outlets should not be missed. If passive pastimes are not your thing – then Berry won’t disappoint you either. Berry has a wonderful assortment of quaint B & B ‘s that you can stay in when enjoying the area.

5MINUTES WITH A FOODIE Ran Kimelfeld

Pavilion Restaurant, Berry This month the South Coast iMag caught up with the newly appointed Head Chef at Berry’s Pavilion Restaurant, Chef Ran Kimelfeld. Since taking over the restaurant, Israeli-born Chef Ran has been revolutionising the menu and wine list to focus on fresh local ingredients and local wines. Who taught you to cook? The first chefs I worked for in Israel in a professional kitchen, but I learned from my mother the logic behind cooking. What inspired you to become a chef? I’ve always loved cooking and had a passion for food. I can’t imagine doing anything else. We always had healthy fresh food around at home and made most things from scratch. Do you have a philosophy on food? I love doing food that makes people happy. I believe in simplicity and keeping it fresh with high quality ingredients. What are three things in your kitchen you can’t live without? 1. Good quality knives. 2. Pasta machine. I do lots of fresh pasta dishes, such as our Tortellini stuffed with mushrooms from Gerringong. 3. Really good olive oil. I use lots of Extra Virgin Olive Oil from

Kangaroo Valley. What was your most memorable meal? I will always remember the food I ate while diving in Thailand. It was a simple Thai mango salad that tasted so good and a pork noodle soup that was just done so well. What is your typical breakfast? I usually don’t get time for breakfast – I’m too busy doing breakfast for other people. When I do have time it’s a Meditteraean breakfast with bread, fetta cheese, olives, lots of fresh veggies and olive oil. What are you most proud of about the Pavilion Restaurant? The environment that the restaurant creates. People feel very at home. I think this is influenced by the space, friendly service, and the food. It reminds me of a small French bistro. What is your favourite dish from your current menu? Lamb rump served with mint salsa verde and crispy zucchini flowers. It’s a really simple dish, based on a very high quality meat and a salsa made fresh before each service. This dish embodies my philosophy about food.

In her Shoalhaven Stories exhibition she expresses this rich collection of unusual and everyday events through painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, writing, music, sound, installation, film and animation. The exhibition includes her archetypal painting the ‘Brave Hunter’ which was chosen as the iconic Australian image for the cover of the ‘Concise History Australia’ by Cambridge University Press.

the Kangaroo River with its impressive castellated sandstone towers. Opened to coach and cart traffic in 1898, the bridge was named after the then Governor of New South Wales, Lord Hampden. While visiting Kangaroo Valley make sure you call in at the Pioneer Farm Museum, a time capsule of life as it was 150 years ago. Kangaroo Valley is both pretty and dramatic – remnants of rainforest cling to the steep escarpment, while the Kangaroo River and small creeks crisscross the valley. Here you can enjoy the ideal ingredients of a short break – cafés, galleries, pubs, cabins in the bush and bushwalks. Kangaroo Valley Pottery located in the main street is a great place to pick up some local pottery and landscape artworks.

IMAG

The original inhabitants of Kangaroo Valley, the ‘Wadi Wadi’ people, shared the valley with kangaroos and other native species. In 1840 a local pastor declared “This valley takes its name from the numerous kangaroos which abound here”. From the early part of the 19th century, cattlemen like Richard Brooks and Cornelius O’Brien acquired extensive landholdings in the valley. They were followed by Irish settlers who, to the delight of their neighbours, brought with them their “moonshining” skills. Gradually more settlement took place and a patchwork of small farms spread out as far as the escarpments, mainly concentrating on dairying activities. In 1977 the pleasant ambience of the entire valley and village was recognised by the National Trust. An outstanding feature of Kangaroo Valley is the Hampden Bridge across

Kangaroo Valley - Australia’s most beautiful valley

Art and Soul of Kangaroo Valley, a stunning showpiece publication covering the myriad of activities in Australia’s most beautiful valley, is to be launched on June 30 in the Valley Hall by Peter Thompson of ABC’s Talking Heads. The idea for this book had been bubbling around for a couple of years, when Carl Leddy and partner Larraine Hahlos were spurred into action by the release of a similar book about food producers in the Shoalhaven, which covered only four Kangaroo Valley providores. They knew the Valley was a more productive and virile community than that. So this project has created a book that includes all of the elements that make Kangaroo Valley so special. Art and Soul covers the farmers, growers and processors as well as those brightening the lives of others through the arts, music and other creative pursuits, including the Valley’s events and festivals. The book features more than one hundred subjects and includes recipes

from chefs working in or connected to the Valley that feature local ingredients. Thanks to a good team, funding by The Valley Voice, Kangaroo Valley Tourist Association and sponsor The Friendly Inn, Art and Soul of Kangaroo Valley was delivered in an admirably short time. Buy your copy for $35 from The Gallery in Kangaroo Valley, call 4465 1621or email artandsoul@kangaroovalley.nsw.au

Swan Lake Sunset © Frank Flanagan

Sussex Inlet & Wandandian Sussex Inlet Situated 35km south of Nowra and 13km off the Princes' Highway, Sussex Inlet is a popular spot for water sports, being on the small river which connects St Georges Basin with the ocean. There is a population of some 4,000 permanent residents in Sussex Inlet and adjoining areas of Berrara, Cudmirrah and Swanhaven. A feature of the town is the housing development situated on a tidal canal system. The canal system has in fact caused the business area of Sussex Inlet to now be located on an island - It is known as the "Island Township". Activities include lawn bowling, fishing, sailing, golf, bingo, water skiing and swimming in sheltered waters. There are several boat hire businesses with small motor boats for hire. There are a large variety of wild birds in the area and kangaroos can be seen

feeding on the lawns of the houses at morning and evening. There are many accommodation businesses including caravan parks, cabins, motels, units and holiday homes available for rental. Sussex Inlet is the perfect place to enjoy some fishing with family and friends, turn to the next page to see our tidal chart with current tide times to help you plan your day.

Wandandian The town of Wandandian is located on the Princes Highway between Bewong and Fisherman’s Paradise. Its name comes from the word still used in the Parish of Wandrawandian, which according to older residents has an aboriginal meaning of 'home of lost lovers'. Wandandian’s beautiful rural atmosphere is enhanced by Kladis

Estate Wines, hobby farms, fruit orchards, galleries, arts and craft shops, antiques and nurseries.

What to See & Do ■ Bring your own or hire a bike and enjoy the great cycleways around Sussex Inlet. ■ Sussex Inlet is the perfect place for a weekend spent fishing, you can hire a boat or enjoy rock or beach fishing. ■ Enjoy a picnic at pretty Swan Lake, stay for the spectacular sunsets! ■ Take the kids for a bushwalk in the local surrounds. ■

Lake Tabourie - Cullendulla Bawley Point - East Lynne - Termeil - Durras - Kioloa Steamships were once built here at Bawley Point. Much of the timber used in the construction of these ships came from Termeil timber; a horse drawn train was loaded with logs and it clip-clopped its way into Bawley Point to be sawn by the timber mill, built in 1910, and at one time employing 72 men. Visitors to Bawley Point or to neighbouring literary-sounding East Lynne can enjoy tranquil beaches, headlands and lagoons where the prawns are a local delicacy, in season. Much of the area here has been reserved as a sanctuary for wildlife. Warm currents extend the swimming season with miles of quiet beaches and headlands fronting the south Pacific Ocean, which is studded with attractive small islands. Behind the coastline lie the lakes of Termeil, Meroo and Willinga, where vegetation and

picturesque views create an idyllic setting to the backdrop of Pigeon House Mountain. The district offers all kinds of fishing, surfing and swimming for all ages. For the bushwalker there are interesting paths to take through the bush or the Kioloa Forest. While in the district, seek out the small roadside cafes and shops where some of the walls and counters are thick with show awards for pies, rolls, cakes and other mouth-watering goodies - all produced in country kitchens.

This park features beaches, rock platforms, spotted gum forests and rainforest gullies, surrounding the beautiful Durras Lake. The extensive forest in the park is home to many animals. Eastern grey kangaroos, swamp and red-necked wallabies can be seen at dawn and dusk when they feed. Stay in a caravan, cabin or tent and enjoy everything the park has to offer - from walking and picnicking to swimming and fishing. Don't forget to visit Murramarang Aboriginal Area.

Murramarang National Park

Cullendulla Creek Nature Reserve

Murramarang National Park was created in 1973, with an area of 1970 hectares. The park was divided, into two sections north and south of Durras Lake, and included four offshore islands. In 2002 the park was increased to 11,978 hectares and now includes Durras Lake.

The reserve is on the northern shore of Batemans Bay and has beautiful views across to the Tollgate Islands. Explore the mangroves along a raised boardwalk. The unusual dune formations here are known as cheniers and are of great scientific interest.
