Illawarra Fly




The Illawarra area has a great new tourist attraction not to be missed- the Illawarra Fly! Just recently we took friends from America to see the 'fly" that we had not yet seen. It was a beautiful clear day and the views from the top were wonderful. We climbed to the top of the tower up the circular staircase (45 metres above the forest floor) and saw the great views over to Wollongong. This walk is one of only four tree top walks in the world all of which are in Australia. We have only seen one other in Tasmania, the Tahune airwalk, where we looked down on a dense tree top foliage whereas this time we could see down to the forest floor. It was a great experience and you can dine too before you walk at the indoor out door cafe.
