See and do

• Cascades walk (parking for trail along Illawarra Highway), ☏ +61 2 4224 4188. A 2-kilometre return trail towards 1 Cascade Falls – it's mostly an easy stroll through rainforest and eucalypt trees. (updated Nov 2023)
• Clover Hill trail, Clover Hill Rd (parking for trail along Illawarra Highway), ☏ +61 2 4224 4188. A very difficult 6-km return trail that is a Grade 5 trail according to the NPWS.
