Illawarra Fly Tree Top Walk - Southern Highlands, NSW, Australia

Located south of the Illawarra Fly and 160km’s from Sydney, Nowra has a population of around 29,000 people and is a mixture of a historic town with buildings dating back to the Victorian era blended with a modern incarnation as a holiday makers tour and action centre. Nowra operates four wheel drive adventures tours, scuba diving expeditions, and canoe trips.

Nowra’s first buildings were erected in the 1850’s and in the 1870’s the towns population enjoyed significant growth when nearby town Terara flooded and many people opted to move to Nowra. Furthermore, while we are on the history trail, did you know that back in 1861 a jockey named Dave Power walked race horse ‘Archer’ down from Terara to Melbourne to race in and win the first Melbourne Cup?
