Nowra [1] is a town on the South Coast of New South Wales situated on the Shoalhaven River some 163 km south of Sydney. With a population 29,000 Nowra is the chief administrative and business centre in the Shoalhaven City municipality, and a regional centre for tourism.

[edit] Get in

[edit] By train

Cityrail [2] runs services to Nowra from Sydney. The trains terminate at Bomaderry which is north of the Shoalhaven river from the Nowra township. A bus connects with the train to go over the road bridge to Nowra (extra fare). The train usually runs with a 2 hour frequency, so check the timetable before you travel. Usually a change of train in Kiama is required. Some indicator boards show the train only going as far as Kiama, so some familiarity with the timetable before you travel is a good idea.

[edit] By Bus

Premier Motor Services [3] run coaches from Sydney to Nowra and beyond.

[edit] By car

Nowra is on the Princes Hwy which is National Route 1 heading south from Sydney. Follow the signs south to Wollongong, then Kiama and then continue on to Nowra. It is about 2 hours drive from Sydney to Nowra on good quality roads. You should easily bear the train and the bus over the same distance although the train line is more scenic and runs closer to the coast for most of the distance.

[edit] Get around

Being in Nowra without a car is limiting, as many of the attractions are away from the town centre. You can access the shopping strip easily, and also walk as far as the river, bridge and train station if you are enthusiastic. Most other locations will require a car.
