This is a lovely route that goes to Comerong Island following the Shoalhaven River downstream towards the sea.
Features: Pretty ride along Shoalhaven River, look at new Comerong Island Ferry, visit Memorial Gardens
The ferry has been out of service while they replace the jetty. This year it is now in service and we were very excited to see the difference, but the ferry that was free for cyclists now costs $20 (return) for the 5-minute ride! So, we won’t be going onto the island. It is still worth going because it is a pretty ride, it is flat & the potholed road has been repaired.
See Ferry timetable and fees.

From the ferry we will cycle on quiet roads to a place most people will never have been – Shoalhaven Memorial Gardens. We looped around the gardens and returned to Nowra through a new suburb, Worrigee.
This will all be published in Bike North Nowra Events page along with everything else people may want to know about a weekend away.
