About GERRINGONG

Gerringong town is located in one of the richest dairy farming areas in NSW. The Wodi Wodi Aboriginal people originally inhabited the area and the town name is believed to be derived from their language and to mean a place of peril.

Local attractions include the quiet and isolated Werri Beach, Mt Pleasant Lookout and the road known as The Bends which approaches Gerringong from the north and offers spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean and the rock platforms below the road.

The first European settlers were red cedar cutters, who were first recorded as having visited and logged in the area in 1814. As in much of coastal New South Wales, the cleared land was used for dairy farming and cedar-cutting died out, as the cedar trees disappeared. Dairy farming became the predominant primary industry, and remains so to this day. Gerringong had a small boat harbour used for the export of cedar and dairy produce.

The population of Gerringong and the area is around 4,000 people and growing. Many are retirees from Sydney and Canberra, others enjoy the seaside lifestyle but commute to work in Wollongong or Nowra and even Sydney. The main local industries are agriculture (including dairying and vineyards), tourism and retail trade.
