Finding the walk

Illawarra Fly is at Knights Hill, about 10 minutes from Robertson along Jamberoo Mountain Road and about 25 minutes from Kiama. Turn onto Knights Hill Road and park beside the visitor centre.

• By car: about two hours from Sydney, via the Hume Highway and Robertson or via the coast and Macquarie Pass; parking is free.
• Coaches and caravans: not permitted on Jamberoo Mountain Road between Robertson and Knights Hill Road; there is no direct public transport.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• Accessible toilets and changing facilities at the visitor centre.
• A courtesy cart between the visitor centre and the walk.
• Indoor and outdoor seating at the visitor centre.
• The Gully Gum Café for coffee and grab-and-go food.

Wear comfortable shoes and bring a layer: the walk stays open in wet weather. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

The Treetop Walk is wheelchair accessible, apart from Knights Tower, which has stairs only, and the path from the visitor centre has a slope down and up. A courtesy cart runs to the walk, but it has no wheelchair lift; call ahead if you need help.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• If you are bringing a stroller, confirm the current arrangements before arrival.
• Ask Illawarra Fly staff for assistance or directions during your visit.

Enjoy the canopy thoughtfully

• Keep to the visitor paths, walk rather than run, and supervise children.
• Keep to the walkway, hold children’s hands on the tower and cantilevers, and leave plants and wildlife undisturbed.
• Smoking and animals are not permitted on the site.
• Commercial photography and filming, including product promotion, need permission.
• Follow the signs and staff guidance, including any restrictions in the exhibition spaces.

A little care helps protect the rainforest and keeps the walk pleasant for everyone.

Make time for a pause

The Gully Gum Café serves barista coffee every day and a wider range of hot food in the school holidays.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

The walk takes most visitors about an hour, and Knights Tower has 106 steps.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: start at the visitor centre and follow your ticket’s instructions to the walk.
• Dress for exploring: comfortable shoes, a layer for the weather and a charged phone make the day easier.
• Leave space to linger: allow about an hour for the walk, and longer to linger on the tower.
