Jamberoo
Jamberoo Valley was settled in the 1820's when it abounded in dense vegetation and rainforest. Clearing of the land over the years gave way to grazing runs and dairying and it
is reputed to be the home of the famous "Illawarra Shorthorn" cattle.
Some seven cemeteries are to be found throughout the village, which still retains many of its old buildings including Churches, country pubs and schoolhouse. A map depicting heritage sites is available from Fredericks General Store in Allowrie St. It will help you find your way around.
The valley now boasts some interesting attractions including the three-time award winning Minnamurra Rainforest Reserve, Jamberoo Recreation Park, lookouts and waterfalls, with the Barren Grounds Nature Reserve overlooking the valley from the escarpment.
A good range of accommodation is available including resort, guesthouse, bed & breakfast properties, and a pub and is located just fifteen minutes drive west of Kiama.
