Discover all the best spots on the NSW South Coast!

The South Coaster is the ultimate insiders' guide to our beautiful backyard, from the Royal National Park to Eden itself. It’s illustrated by fabulous photography, fine art and unique hand-painted village maps. All the South Coaster writers are experts in their field, generously sharing their local knowledge so you can explore all the best places to bush walk, trail run, swim, surf, snorkel, paddleboard, cycle, watch whales, pick fresh fruit and go hanggliding! 

The guide represents the ‘best of’ stories published over the past decade in much-loved local news mags, 2508 & 2515, and all proceeds go back into producing independent community news in the Illawarra.

Here's a sneak peek inside: 

The South Coaster guidebook is $19.99 plus $10 P&P (for postage of up to 3 copies within Australia only).
