This riverside centre is the commercial hub of the Shoalhaven. Taking its name from the Aboriginal word meaning 'camping place', it is the ideal place to stop at a caravan or holiday park to use as your base to explore the surrounding region. The distinctive bridge and elevated helicopter will welcome you as you enter the township and the attractive landscaped gardens and parks offer a wonderful backdrop for a stroll through the streets or to relax with friends at the local restaurants and cafes. Surprising to many is the growing list of local wines, which may be complemented by the renowned local seafood available in town.
