PIGEON HOUSE MOUNTAIN
It is one of the most spectacular natural landmarks in NSW and is a major focal point of visitor interest in the region.
Situated within the Morton National Park, approx ½ hour's drive south west from Ulladulla and 1 hour North West from Batemans Bay, Pigeon House is part of Australia's eastern mountainous escarpment which separates the coastal plain from the interior tableland. All are accessible, with walks and tracks suited to all levels of fitness or capability. The most accessible however, yet one of the most rewarding to climb, is Pigeon House itself.
At the car park you'll find barbeques, picnic tables and a toilet. The track to the top is also clearly defined. The walk from the base to the summit and back to the car park is about 5km and takes around 4 hrs.
BLESSING OF THE FLEET
On Easter Sunday thousands flock to see the Parade, the Blessing Ceremony, enjoy the entertainment and activities around the harbour and then marvel at the fireworks display in the evening over Ulladulla Harbour.
The parade is the annual pilgrimage to Ulladulla harbour for the traditional blessing ceremony.
