Access Issues: inherited from Mt Keira

NOTE: * MT KEIRA ROAD CLOSURE (council road works) * @ 25/3/13 update - Mount Keira Road will remain closed. WCC recently completed road works but geotechnical staff has found that another section of road has subsided - access only will be via Clive Bissel Drive or Picton Road (north access routes)

Mt Keira Summit is 1.2 hr drive south of Sydney CBD. The summit overlooks the city of Wollongong (9th largest city in Australia) and has superb views up the southern coastline.

Approach:

Below the northern lookout platforms, just right of the shop( as you stand in the car park and look north)

Ethic: inherited from Mt Keira

"The Big K" is worthwhile for a day trip from Sydney and a very good local cliff for those that live around the Illawarra - R.Young

.. and if all else fails, remember ... The Law of Gravity is STRICTLY Enforced
