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

The Treetop Walk is a unique attraction which enables visitors to experience a 1500 metre walk through beautiful warm temperate rainforest. The uniqueness of our attraction in comparison to other rainforest walks is that 500 metres of this walk is nestled in the treetop canopy some 20-30 metres above ground level. The walkway culminates in a spiral tower that rises to a breathtaking 45 metres above the forest floor. This is a significant departure from the normal mode of eco-tourism delivery, a more interventionist approach that allows a far wider spectrum of the touring public to enjoy, learn and respect the forest. Add to this the thrills and challenges of two confronting swaying springboard cantilevers suspended 25 metres above the forest floor which take guests to the edge of the escarpment.
WEATHER - Sensational in the Sunshine...Marvellous in the Mist...Wonderful in the Wet...
The Illawarra Fly operates EVERY DAY (Excluding Christmas Day) regardless of the weather. (On rare occassions the attraction may close for short durations due to lightning for guest safety). Remember the main attraction is walking through the canopy of the "rainforest" along the Illawarra escarpment. The Illawarra Fly is located in a high rainfall area - with in excess of 1600mm per year and at an altitude of 700 metres the rolling mist and drizzle associated with our climate heightens the experience as the forest reveals its' true beauty and hidden secrets. So grab a jacket, get out of the house and visit us soon! (Wet weather ponchos are availbale for sale at the ticket office if required).Discover...Explore...Climb...View...Experience...Relax...
