We always want to visit some new, some unique places to visit during holidays, so here are some little-known wonders of Australia's South Coast.
COMERONG ISLAND:
Comerong Island is one of the remote and tiny islands, just 10 kilometres east of Nowra. This Island was built by convicts when they joined the Crookhaven and Shoalhaven rivers by digging the first canal in Australia; the island is about 10km in circumference.

The Islanders take the ferry to the mainland. The ride takes two minutes. It may not sound like much, but those few minutes have secured Comerong in a world of its own.
The Island is blessing fro nature lover; tourist can go walking in National Park. There isn't any general store or a petrol station. However, for the handful of families that do live there, it offers a slice of island paradise, and they defend it ferociously.

It's a haven for birds of all types pelicans, swans, herons and ducks are in particular abundance in winter. Unsealed roads snake around this nature retreat and through coastal rainforest.
JOADJA CREEK:
Joadja Creek is also known as a ghost town. This ghost town in the Southern Highlands had its boom years around the 1890s. It was home to about 1100 people. Some of the two-room, whitewashed cottages are still standing among Sycamore maple tree and Robinia trees planted by the settlers.
This was a mining town with Scottish population. There was the white-knuckle railway line, which ran down a 45-degree slope. The mine closed in 1906. The people of Joadja Creek had a vibrant social life. There was a school of arts, where dancing and fencing lessons were taught, as well as the first lodge of the Southern Highland Masonic Lodge was started there. When the refinery closed, it was the end of shale mining and many of the old structures were simply abandoned.

GREENFIELDS BEACH:
One of the hidden treasures of the South Coast, Greenfields in Vincentia is one of the most spectacular vantage points in Jervis Bay, with pristine sand, clear water and abundant marine life on offer.
Another three to try: Honeymoon Bay, Currarong; Huskisson Beach, Huskisson and Washerwomans Beach, Bendalong.

PORT KEMBLA:
Port Kembla is a little-known place, but it has much to offer.
Dozens of white concrete triangles - beach tank traps left over from World War II - fill up the heritage park at the Breakwater Battery Museum to create a striking sculpture by the sea.
Military Tunnels: This tunnel is not open to the public, but there's plenty of evidence that people are still able to get inside. Wollongong council has been considering a makeover for all.There are some suggestion to convert this tunnels into a restaurant or as an underground cinema. But senior citizens want to keep them as it is.

HELENSBURGH:
Helensburgh is not a new name to many of us. But only a few of us know about a mysterious world of glow-worms here. To find this spot person need to take a walk from opposite the old Helensburgh railway station entrance, towards the modern-day station, via Tunnel Road. Visitors can enter an old rail tunnel from the original restored railway platform. This place is now the home of an incredible glow-worm colony.
Best seen at night, take a torch and a pair of gumboots with you. Once inside, turn off the light, stand still and behold the bioluminescence. The site is maintained by volunteers, so remember to take your rubbish with you.
