About the Club
Where are we and where do we sail?
- We are situated at the eastern end of Kanahooka Road, Kanahooka, NSW, Australia.
- On Lake Illawarra, around 12km south of Wollongong, which is about 1.5 hours drive from Sydney. The lake has a shore line length of about 70km, and a maximum depth of 3.3 metres. There is enough room to set a triangular course with 1 nautical mile legs to any wind direction.
How do you get here?
- Driving south from Sydney, take the Wollongong freeway (F6 or Princes Highway), and you will go down the mountain (known as Mount Ousley). Follow the freeway (F6) for another 15 kilometres, and you will drive through a cutting (where the freeway has been cut through a smallish mountain), and you're almost here. Take the Kanahooka Road Exit (which is the second exit after the cutting), and turn left at the traffic lights. Follow Kanahooka Road all the way to the end, and you have made it.
- Driving north from Melbourne, take the Hume Highway to the Picton Road Exit (Wollongong and Picton turn off) 25km past the truck weighbridge at Marulan. This road will take you south to the F6 freeway and Wollongong. Follow this down the mountain. Follow the freeway (F6) for another 15 kilometres, to the Kanahooka Road Exit. Take the Kanahooka Road Exit (which is the second exit after the cutting), and turn left at the traffic lights. Follow Kanahooka Road all the way to the end, and you have made it.
