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.

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.

🌿💦 As the rain eases, it’s 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 Coast’s most picturesque walks while the falls are putting on a show.
