Jamberoo, NSW
For picture perfect landscapes, it has to be Jamberoo, often voted the most picturesque area of NSW. In 1834, Governor Richard Bourke was so enamoured by the Illawarra‘s natural lushness, and its agricultural successes that he bestowed the title ‘Garden of New South Wales’ on the region.
Towering escarpments and lush pastures provide a backdrop to the thriving dairy industry, renowned since first European settlement. Sites include Jamberoo Mountain Road, the award winning Minnamurra Rainforest and Falls, Budderoo National Park and the unique Barren Grounds Nature Reserve. Many walks are suitable for disabled access to several lookouts providing excellent views.
