SHOALHAVEN HEADS Shoalhaven Heads Is a small resort and tourist town some 20k from Nowra. Shoalhaven Heads is on the road to Gerringong on a diversion road off the Princes Hgy. Shoalhaven Heads is normally a small town but during holiday seasons explodes. The ‘heads’ are at the Shoalhaven River mouth. Seaside recreational activities dominate this area. Shoalhaven Heads is a small rural holiday town. The town sits at the foot of Mount Collangatta and is situated on both Seven Mile Beach and the mouth of the Shoalhaven River. It is served by the main Bolong Road, which runs from Gerroa to the north, to Bomaderry and Nowra to the south. It is bounded by national park to the north, the Shoalhaven River to the south and farm land to the west. The town comprises family homes, weekenders and retirement homes. In 1933 Sir Charles Kingsford Smith undertook his historic flight from nearby Seven Mile Beach to New Zealand. A memorial stone at Gerroa  marks the event. The town has a primary school, rural fire brigade, doctor's surgery and vets. In terms of shopping there are two grocery stores, a post office, a petrol station (which doubles as a video store and grocery shop), a newsagent, two hairdressers, a hardware store, a butcher, a bakery, a pharmacy, a pizza shop, a burger shop and a Chinese takeaway. It has one large pub overlooking the river, a sizeable Bowls and Recreation club which has its own Chinese Bistro and a golf club adjacent to Seven Mile Beach. The ‘heads’ also has an Anglican Church, that is a functional building. The Shoalhaven Heads War Memorial is at the Memorial Park. Shoalhaven Heads will have to be a holiday break for the traveller. If not then keep driving. A pretty spot yes, but there is better.	C
