"Illawarra" Route Stage One

by Paul Woozley


Description: This route is modelled on the Illawarra line south of Sydney. Bomaderry (Nowra) station is just over 153km south of Sydney by rail, and is the southern terminus for the Illawarra line.

Currently you can drive on over 40km of this line.

Bomaderry to Kiama is quite highly detailed, with work started beyond Kiama including Bombo station, and the track is laid to almost Minnamurra. Paul has certainly captured the "look and feel" of the south coast of NSW very well.

Note: this route works in "summer" only.

Extensions all the way to Helensburgh to the North and Robertson and beyond to the West may happen later.
