Paringa Rock | Nowra, NSW

Details

ROB: HT.25 – 58FT.

Paringa Rock is situated on the Shoalhaven river at Nowra. Nowra is about 2 1/2 hours south of Sydney NSW. Follow the Princes Highway until you reach the Shoalhaven River Bridge seperating Bomaderry and Nowra. Turn right immediately over the bridge and immediately right again onto Scenic Drive. Follow the road for about 400 metres past the local Swimming Pool and along the bank of the Shoalhaven River. Turn right into Paringa Park past the Shoalhaven Rowing Club and Sea Scout Hall. Paringa Rock is at the far end of the park.

Paringa Rock has 5 levels. Level one is for beginers at 25 feet. Level 2 is at 36 feet and requires a jump out over level 1. Level 3 is at 46 feet, level 4 at 50 feet and level 5 is 58 feet. Each level is a little more challenging not only in height but also in terms of clearing the other levels. The water is very deep but there are some rocks just under the surface near the exit point. It may be worth a quick swim to locate these if its your first time.
