I wouldn’t want to walk from Shellharbour (Junction) to what Tony has called Illawarra Airport, but which I know as Albion Park Airport. The airport just about abuts the South Coast Railway at Albion Park station – the end of one runway is the other side of the Princes Highway which passes through the township of Albion Park Rail paralleling the railway.. It is a walk of several hundred metres to the main entrance to the Airport – one which plane enthusiasts undertake each year for the “Wings over the Illawarra” show.

Mind you, Illawarra Airport has a railway station but Shellharbour Council couldn't even think beyond its tiny square enough to put a footpath between the two, so anybody getting there by train has to walk on the (naturally) lavishly-outfitted roads. It's a mindset among so many in planning agencies..

A direct flight is starting between Illawarra and Essendon Airports in a couple of months.
