Mount Kembla Circuit

Loop around Mount Kembla in Illawarra Escarpment State Conservation Area, enjoying the dense forest and views over the ocean. There is an Aboriginal site of the Wodi Wodi people and even potential whale spotting as you walk through the lush rainforest. Let us begin by acknowledging the Dharawal people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
