Australia. It is home to some of

friendly tourism staff about all the
history this Shire has to offer.
With 80% of Sydney's water supply
within our borders, it is no surprise
that Wollondilly is home to some
of the most breathtaking and awe
inspiring bushland scenery on offer.
There are a multitude of bushland
walks and trails for both the
discerning adventurer and the casual
explorer. Make sure you check out
some of our World Heritage listed areas.
Based on its perfect climatic location,
Wollondilly is home to some mouthwatering
local produce that can be

Wollondilly played a significant role in the early train networks of Australia and pays great homage to the romantic days of steam. Check out Trainworks, the largest rail-museum in Australia and discover the tales of memories past.
If you're an adrenaline junkie then
we have the perfect remedies to
satisfy your appetite. You are more
than welcome to see our region at

things from 14,000 feet above sea
level is much, much more fun!
