We drove into Nowra later in the afternoon to spend the night at the Parkhaven Motel. Nowra is the seat and commercial centre of the City of Shoalhaven. Nowra holds many memories for me as we spent many holidays, when the children were young, passing through Nowra on our way to Culburra. We also would often drive into Nowra from Culburra to do shopping or continue on further down the coast to visit other beaches.
Here's the bridge over the Shoalhaven River marking the approach to Nowra.
The Iroquois Helicopter perched up on a pole at the corner of Pleasant Way and the Princes Highway which can be seen as you come off the bridge. It is quite an iconic part of Nowra and signifies there is a naval base located close by in Jervis Bay HMAS Albatross.
Here's the turnoff to Culburra.
The Parkhaven Motel where we spent the night. We enjoyed a spa bath in our room that night a great way to ease away those aches and pains.

I love those old bridges that you see throughout country NSW.
This bridge is 137 years' old and there are plans to building a new modern bridge. The old bridge will still be used, but only for pedestrians and cyclists. The new bridge will run alongside the old bridge. I'm glad they are keeping it. It's certainly a lovely old bridge.
