🌿 Explore the Spectacular Landscapes of Bulli and the Illawarra Escarpment
Discover the dramatic coastal and mountain landscapes of the Illawarra region in New South Wales with the Bulli 9029-2N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.
Covering Bulli and its surrounding countryside north of Wollongong, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, outdoor enthusiasts, environmental professionals, surveyors, land managers and emergency services.
Situated where the magnificent Illawarra escarpment rises sharply above the Tasman Sea, Bulli occupies a remarkable landscape of towering sandstone cliffs, forested mountain slopes, beautiful beaches and densely vegetated creek valleys.
The mapped region includes Bulli, Thirroul, Austinmer, Woonona, Bellambi, Bulli Pass, Sublime Point and sections of the Illawarra escarpment. Further inland, the landscape extends towards the forested catchments associated with Cataract and Cordeaux reservoirs.
The dramatic contrast between the narrow coastal plain and the elevated sandstone plateau makes detailed topographic mapping particularly valuable for understanding the region's terrain.
At a scale of 1:25,000 (1cm = 250 metres), the map reveals the landscape through detailed contour lines, waterways, roads, walking tracks, vegetation and natural features.
Whether you're exploring the Illawarra escarpment, planning a bushwalk, examining coastal catchments or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Bulli topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.
