NSW - AUS KANGAROO VALLEY, ROBERTSON AND ALBION PARK – THE WATERFALLS ROUTE

ATTRACTIONS ALONG THE WAY This drive takes in Macquarie Pass, Robertson, Fitzroy Falls, Kangaroo Valley, and Bomaderry.

The three waterfalls Carrington Falls, Belmore Falls and Fitzroy Falls can be viewed from great vantage points on short detours from the main route. You’ll find picnic, barbeque and toilet facilities at Carrington Falls picnic area, and a variety of walking tracks that take you to a series of magnificent lookouts. Hindmarsh Lookout at Belmore Falls and Mannings Lookout at Fitzroy Falls also offer superb views.

Between Barrengarry Mountain and Cambewarra Mountain nestled in the lush pastures is the charming township of Kangaroo Valley. Abundant birdlife, surrounding mountains and beautiful morning mists make for spectacular scenery. The historic village is well geared for visitors, with art and souvenir galleries, several cafés, a delightful old pub, some unique handicraft stores and plenty of good quality holiday accommodation.

Hampden Bridge, with its famous stone turrets, provides commanding views over the winding Kangaroo River below.

Built in 1898, it is the oldest suspension bridge in Australia and is Kangaroo Valley’s most famous and most photographed landmark.

Kangaroo Valley Pioneer Village Museum, near the bridge, is a place of learning, relaxation and fun for the whole family. A series of original and replica buildings house displays of artifacts such as household items and agricultural machinery from 19th century pioneer farm life. There are also historical displays about Kangaroo Valley and the residents. A wheelchair accessible pathway leads

Cambewarra Lookout through the buildings and displays, and on to bushwalks and picnic facilities.

Kangaroo Valley is a great location for activities such as bushwalking, cycling, canoeing (solo or escorted) and horse riding.

Another must see on the drive is Cambewarra Lookout, where you can detour along a scenic hillside climb to Cambewarra Mountain and Lookout to view some of the most spectacular scenery of the South Coast. Stop in at The Lookout Tearooms where you can enjoy a coffee while your pet laps up a puppyccino.

The drive finishes at Bomaderry 4km north of Nowra, the terminus of NSW South Coast railway line. Visit Bomaderry Creek picnic area and bushwalk in the cliff-lined gorge. Attractions nearby are the Shoalhaven Zoo, Tree Tops Adventure, Bundanon, Meroogal Historic Homestead, the Fleet Air Arm Museum at HMAS Albatross, and Shoalhaven River Cruise.
