There are a lot of Nowra crags and it depends on how human tolerant you are to where you go. The grotto is by far the best of the crags as far as shade and missing crowds.
I recomend the Australian Hotel in down town Nowra. The North Nowra Hotel is all a bit soft. And Berry, way gay. What used to be called the Leprechaun at the thompsons point turn off on the highway is another winner. East Nowra rules......
Personally I like to drink at the Bombaderry Hotel. Fridays is Sex Bomb (titties) night.
The Oasis on the main drag is the only place to eat.
There is a good ell fishing spot on Bombaderry Creek (known as eel city) behind the fishermans co-op.
Highly recomend going to point perp. even if you are only travelling with draws as it is the best top roping crag ever.
