Illawarra Fly

I've always wonder how is tree top walk like and one day as I was clicking around (can't remember exactly what I was looking for then), I found out that there is a tree top walk in the Southern Highland. This is one of the place I told the tour guide that I wanted to go... Illawarra Fly Tree Top Walk.

As we left Nan Tien Temple at about 3ish and day gets dark pretty early during winter, we have yet decide if we would do the treetop walk the same day or leave it till the next day. However as we travel towards the direction of Bowral, we passed signs showing the direction to Illawarra Fly. I did as quick check on the temperature as told by the tour guide and note that there was possibility of rain the next day, hence we decided it would be better to do it before going to Bowral.

Little did we know that from the sign to the place itself is still pretty far... and we have to be there by at least 4.15 pm as the place will close at 5pm. We made it in time.. yay!.. and its well worth it :)

Knights Tower

"Knights Tower" is ascended via a spiral staircase taking the guest to an exhilarating 45 metres above the forest floor. The lookout platform at the top provides unparalleled views over the valley to Lake Illawarra and beyond to the South Pacific Ocean.

Glad we did the treetop walk before going to Bowral, or we would have to retrace our steps back ... verdict? I like treetop walks! :)


Side note: Oh... next up is the Bradman Museum!
