On its eastern boundary the region embraces 242km of stunning coastline long sandy beaches, harbour inlets, rivers, large protected estuaries and bays offering unlimited opportunity for recreation and leisure activities. To the west are rolling hills of the Southern Tablelands. The divide between the coastal plain and the Tablelands is clearly defined by the sharp rise of the Illawarra Escarpment, which offer spectacular views of the Region.
