Beautiful Illawarra, by the South Coast Tourists Association, 1903

This guide to the Illawarra was the second in a series that began in 1896.

Tourists were encouraged to explore the wonders of the South Coast as far down the train line as the terminus at Bomaderry, and the guide’s paid advertisements for guest houses and hotels suggested brighter prospects despite the depression of the 1890s.
