THINGS TO DO
In the main street of Robertson,
the Old Cheese Factory has some
interesting stores and a café. The
building has been restored but still
features some cool old machinery
as a tribute to its former working life
in dairy processing.
Belmore Falls is just a short ride
from Robertson and is an awesome
sight after heavy rain. The lookout
is not far from the carpark.
The Illawarra Fly Treetop Walk
is a great way to check out the
views. It’s located on the Jamberoo
Mountain Rd at Knights Hill. They
are open every day.
Near the end of Range Rd in
Mittagong, the Sturt Craft Centre
has a gallery of fine woodworking.
It is open seven days a week from
10am. Cnr Range Rd & Waverly
Parade, Mittagong. (02) 4860 2083An awesome way
to avoid the tourist
traffi c clogging the
Southern Highlands
Detour
There are some great
detours throughout this area,
with winding mountain passes
running up and down the escarpment
right down to Nowra. We prefer Jamberoo
Mountain Rd to Macquarie Pass on the
weekends; there’s generally less tourist traffic and
law enforcement, although you need to take care
on the narrower road and watch for wayward cars
(and bikes) coming in the opposite direction. When
you get to the bottom, a right turn through the town
of Jamberoo takes you to Kiama on a smooth,
flowing road. We often continue south from
there before turning back up the mountain
at Berry or Nowra to finish the loop back
towards the Southern Highland via
Kangaroo Valley. An excellent
riding circuit.
