Foreword
Guy Warren Many of my works are the result of a long association with the south coast of NSW. It is a land of countless beaches and headlands, dramatic escarpments, hills, rugged bushland, rivers, rainforest and farms. The image of a river keeps appearing and reappearing in my work, the idea of “river” is very personal and comes from very close at hand, with every detail of that connection buried in my consciousness. In 1938 at age 17, my brother and I embarked on a grand adventure by canoe on the Shoalhaven River, from its beginnings south of Braidwood, winding through a huddle of mountains like a loose scribble, to the Pacific Ocean at Nowra.
Boyd was, but in a strange twist of fate 44 years later, I was offered the opportunity to live in Boyd’s big house and to work in his studio. The Shoalhaven River and the surrounding landscape are very beautiful, powerful and subtle, but my paintings of the landscape also frequently contain images of figures and landscape intertwined, to make the point (as many indigenous peoples do) that we and the environment are one and interdependent.
My memories are about the beauty of the landscape and the river, of being constantly in and out of the water, of battling rapids, of catching fish and camping every night by the river. We must have passed by the property which Arthur Boyd subsequently gave to the nation and possibly camped on his little beach, opposite Pulpit Rock. I may not have known then who Arthur

Museums Shoalhaven museums are as diverse as they are inspiring, so take your time exploring another world or another time. From historical exhibits to maritime collections and antique machines – we’ve got an array of interesting museums for you to learn something new and revel in our past. Along the shore, Jervis Bay Maritime Museum exhibits a rich local Aboriginal history, captivating shipwrecks and maritime battles. The iconic Lady Denman Ferry, built in Huskisson in 1911, has retired here. Check out Australia’s Naval Aviation history, showcased at the Fleet Air Arm Museum at HMAS Albatross, located inside a very cool hangar building with its own flight simulator! Nowra Museum is found inside the old police station, and a beautiful 130-year old bank houses Berry Historic Museum, both transporting visitors to times of Aboriginal history and early European settlement.

In picturesque Kangaroo Valley at the Pioneer Village Museum, the 150-year old farm buildings and historic grounds highlight yesteryear, whilst Meroogal House in Nowra lovingly displays the lives of four generations of Shoalhaven women, and hosts an annual art prize. The Tabourie Lake Museum near Ulladulla is a quirky treasure trove of discovery. A local historian’s personal collection, it’s filled with Aboriginal artefacts, minerals and local marine life. The nearby Fossil House has a collection of fossils and rocks in Ulladulla’s oldest house which dates back to the 1850s.

Galleries From top class touring exhibitions to local artists inspired by the unspoilt Shoalhaven, you won’t want to miss out on the gems at our galleries. Iconic artist Arthur Boyd was so captivated by the landscape that he donated his famous property, Bundanon, to the Australian people.

The beautiful gardens are nestled alongside the Shoalhaven River so take a stroll here on this excellent day trip. The artistic hub, Shoalhaven Regional Gallery in Nowra hosts some of our best touring collections, whilst smaller, more intimate spaces such as Precinct Galleries in Berry, The Studio

Heritage Explore our country towns filled with old charm, history and architecture. The Shoalhaven’s rich Aboriginal heritage goes back tens of thousands of years, pre-dating any colonial history. Over the last few hundred years, the region has yielded interesting European style architecture, much of which has been well-preserved. Some of the oldest buildings can be found at Jindyandy Mill and Coolangatta Estate, where Alexander Berry first settled in 1822. Embark upon a historic walk to experience the best of our history, gazing upon well-preserved architecture that dates back to the 1800s and 1900s. Amongst quaint cottages and old terraces, highlights are the School of Arts in both Berry and Nowra,

plus Australia’s very first suspension bridge in Kangaroo Valley. Grab lunch at a heritage pub like Berry Hotel or the Friendly Inn in Kangaroo Valley, or watch a movie at Nowra’s Roxy Cinema, an art deco dream. Meander through our villages past showgrounds with gorgeous grandstands, courthouses, and heritage homes like Meroogal. Then venture out to the coast, spotting quintessential Australian beachside cottages in all their fibro glory. These coastal enclaves captivated photographer Max Dupain, with his famous ‘Sunbaker’ image shot here at Culburra Beach in the 1930s.
