Relocation of the Illawarra Environmental Education Centre

Relocation of the Illawarra Environmental Education Centre occurred during 2002.  After severe flooding in 1998 the Centre was forced to move from its previous location at the foot of Mt Kembla.  The Centre now enjoys dedicated access to a unique range of environments and ecosystems at the Killalea State Park in the Shellharbour schools district.
