How to find us
Our address is 489A Albatross Road which runs south-west from Nowra, and becomes Kalandar Street that intersects with the Princes Highway. Should you miss this intersection - easy enough - while heading south on the highway, then carry on down through South Nowra's industrial precinct until you reach the Museum signposts at the B.T.U Road intersection (on your right) on the town's southern outskirts.
Additional directions and maps are available from Google Maps.
