We love a good forest walk, especially when it finishes with a spectacular lookout at the top! 😌 @happymeoutdoors snapped this shot along the #MtKeiraRingTrack and what a beauty it is. Note: Walk and lookout accessible via Mount Keira Rd #visitwollongong #wollongongpressplay

Dharawal Country

We would like to acknowledge Aboriginal people and their cultural and spiritual connection to this land. Their stories are written in the land and hold great significance to Aboriginal people from the mountains to the sea. As you travel through the Illawarra immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Dharawal Country.
