A great day out

Shoalhaven has lots of great activities which are fun for the whole family these school holidays. Why not head out to a dinosaur show, check out a mini museum or something a little more traditional at Ulladulla’s Blessing of the Fleet

Name an endangered wallaby 

This year has been a fantastic year for wallaby joeys on the south coast. The NSW Saving our Species program has recorded around 20 new joeys at our Kangaroo Valley colony of endangered brush-tailed rock-wallabies, but these fresh faces are completely name-less. So, we are turning to you for help and little bit of creativity in naming the joeys.
