South Coast Register

South Coast Register, first published in 1885, is a weekly newspaper serving readers from Gerringong in the north to Sussex Inlet in the south – an area of 4,000 square kilometres. Published weekly and online the South Coast Register has strong connections with the Shoalhaven community. Located less than an hour’s drive south from Wollongong and less than two hours from Sydney, the Shoalhaven boasts a growing population of over 85,000. Picturesque towns and villages make the Shoalhaven an idyllic tourist destination, offering rolling green pastures, secluded bays, pristine beaches and unique crafts and local cuisine. Underpinning the region’s vibrant tourist industry are strong manufacturing, retail and agricultural sectors. While dairying is the area’s main agricultural enterprise, a burgeoning viticulture industry has emerged producing boutique wines. The area is home to the Navy’s Fleet Air Arm base HMAS Albatross, while the Defence Force’s officer training school is located at HMAS Creswell, on the shores of beautiful Jervis Bay.
