Tuross

Tuross is a coastal village located in the Eurobodalla Shire on the South Coast of New South Wales, Australia. It is situated on the Tuross River and Batemans Bay, approximately 300 kilometers south of Sydney. The village is a popular destination for holidaymakers, particularly those interested in fishing, boating, and swimming.

The Tuross River is a significant feature of the area, offering calm waters for a variety of water sports. The river mouth opens into the Tasman Sea, providing access to wider ocean activities. The local economy is largely supported by tourism, with many visitors drawn to the natural beauty and recreational opportunities.

Historically, the area was inhabited by Indigenous Australians for thousands of years. European settlement began in the 19th century, with early industries including timber getting and farming. Over time, Tuross evolved into a seaside resort.

The village itself offers a range of amenities including shops, cafes, and accommodation. Nearby natural attractions include Pebbly Beach, known for its resident kangaroos, and the Eurobodalla National Park, which provides walking trails and scenic viewpoints. The Tuross Head area, just south of the village, offers a distinct headland with elevated views of the coastline. Tuross is accessible by road via the Princes Highway.
