Walking and driving instructions

 

Nellie's Glen Falls is roughly a 2hours' drive away from Sydney CBD, or 1hr' from Wollongong. From the Sydney or Wollongong head south on the M1. Slide right onto the A48/Terry St immediately after the bridge over the Macquarie Rivulet.

The road surface is sealed.

From the car park follow an easy and flat walking path, which in 5 minutes (130m) brings you to the base of Nellie's Glen Falls.
