โ๏ธ Adventure takes off in Shellharbour!
From thrilling jet flights and scenic joy flights to skydives, helicopter experiences and charter adventures, some of our region`s most unforgettable tourism experiences begin at @shellharbourairport.
We`re incredibly fortunate to have our own airport right here in Shellharbour, creating opportunities for visitors and locals to experience the region from a whole new perspective. Whether you`re soaring above our stunning coastline with @jetflight.com.au Shellharbour, taking the leap with a skydive, enjoying a scenic helicopter tour, or exploring Australia`s rich aviation history at @harsaviationmuseum, there`s an adventure waiting to take flight.
And if G-force isn`t your thing, the airport is still worth a visit. Grab a coffee or lunch from @greenacres.cafes.and.catering, settle in, and watch the spectacle of aircraft arriving, departing and taking to the skies throughout the day.
Better yet, make time to visit HARS Aviation Museum, home to Australia`s only flying aviation museum, where history doesn`t just sit on display, it still takes to the air.

๐ฟ๐ฆ As the rain eases, itโs the perfect time to lace up your walking shoes and explore the Cascade Falls Walk at Macquarie Pass.
Recent rainfall means the waterfall is at its spectacular best, cascading through the lush rainforest in a full, flowing display. Keep your eyes peeled along the trail, too. Water dragons can often be spotted basking after the wet weather, while the beautiful lyrebird emerges to forage among the forest floor.
Breathe in the fresh mountain air, listen to the sounds of the rainforest, and enjoy one of the South Coastโs most picturesque walks while the falls are putting on a show.

๐๐ Shellharbour`s beaches are making waves for all the right reasons!

The kids are back at school, the rain is falling... and for a few blissful hours, you`ve got time to yourself. โโจ
Instead of rushing around, why not turn a grey day into a wellness day?
Unwind with a session at @thosefloatingsaunas , relax in the calming salt rooms at @saltandskinwellness , indulge in a massage or facial at @arabella_day_spa or simply settle in for a long lunch overlooking @thewaterfrontshellcove as the storm rolls across the bay.
Looking for a little retail therapy? Browse the shops at @StocklandShellharbour or the boutiques in Shellharbour Village, catch the latest movie at @eventcinemasshellharbour, then finish the day with good food, great coffee and nowhere else to be.
Sports crazy, but going stir crazy in the wet? @thebirdiebunker_official will give you the sports buzz you crave with virtual golf. Watching the rain green up the fairway at @TheLinksShellCove while you enjoy a meal and a cold beverage is a bit of much needed green therapy.
Because sometimes the best rainy-day plan is slowing down, switching off and treating yourself. ๐ค
