Come along to The Lookout Cambewarra and gaze across the extensive expanse of the Shoalhaven, with its 170 kilometres of coastline. Perched high on the summit of the Cambewarra mountain range, there is no shortage of sensational views from Coolangatta Mountain in the north, all the way down to Pigeon House Mountain in the south of the Shoalhaven.

Bringing two perspectives into play, listen as they talk about First Contact, and what happened around here before and where it leaves many today.
