Shoalhaven River
A major river flowing through Nowra, where you can take a river cruise or paddle a kayak, with sandstone cliffs and oyster farms along the banks.
The Shoalhaven River rises in the Great Dividing Range and, near Nowra, widens into a broad estuary before reaching the sea. Nowra's riverfront has a wharf and walking paths. River cruises heading downstream pass sandstone cliffs, oyster farms and estuary sandbars, and some offer oyster tastings. The Hanging Rock Lookout on the northern bank of Nowra overlooks the river. It is about 25 km from Huskisson to Nowra.
