The small regional park of Bomaderry Creek is nested in the town of Nowra, so it’s a perfect getaway: easy to access, but you are suddenly in the wild, watching Kookaburras and listening to Lyrebirds while walking between a quiet creek and small mossy cliffs.

Access

• Trail head is at the Bomaderry Creek picnic area (sometimes also called the Narang Rd picnic area) 34 50 43 S,150 35 28 E.
• By car: park your car at the picnic area, on Narang Rd, in Nowra.
• By train or bus: Bomaderry/Nowra train station is a 2 kms (30 mins) walk away from the trail head. From Sydney it’s a 3 hours trip, with a change in Kiama. Check out the Shoalhaven transport guide for details.

Facilities: flush toilets, gas barbecues, picnic tables and drinking water at the picnic area, but camping is not allowed.

Track

You’ll have to follow the She-Oak crossing walk: Take on your left on Eastern Walk, follow the riverside to River Oak Crossing. Cross and continue along the other side of the river up to the Weir, cross again and come back to the picnic area.
