Helensburgh

Helensburgh combines a bushland setting with an industrial past in a way that reflects its position between Sydney and Wollongong, beside the southern reaches of Royal National Park. The town stands amid sandstone plateaux and eucalypt forest on the edge of the Illawarra region. Coal mining and the railway shaped Helensburgh’s growth from the late nineteenth century, while the South Coast Line still connects it with both cities. Nearby walking areas place the settlement within a wider protected landscape, contrasting with its commuter links and mining heritage.
