The Illawarra Escarpment runs directly west of the coastal plains between Stanwell Park and the Shoalhaven River on the south coast of New South Wales. Rising up from beachside villages, the escarpment plateau stands over 800m at its highest point.



Steve Allen is an Illawarra local, and a bush walking enthusiast, and has been walking the tracks around the escarpment his entire life - as has his good mate Graham Ross. Graham's a Field Officer with the National Parks and Wildlife Service, and has worked to develop the paths along the escarpment.



Steve and Graham take us on a 13km bushwalk, from the Wodi Wodi track near Stanwell Park, to Sublime Point lookout, overlooking the coastal village of Austinmer.



Along the way, we explore the nature and history of the Illawarra.
