Princes Highway (NSW) 
The Princes Highway in NSW begins at Victorian border, 43km south-west
of Eden, and heads inland until it meets the coastal town of Eden. The
highway continues north through very undulating terrain and heavy timbered
country, bypassing Merimbula to Bega and into the Bega Valley. The highway
continues north again through rich countryside and hits the coast again
at Narooma, Batemans Bay and Ulladulla. The highway further north enters
the touristy Shoalhaven area and through Nowra, Kiama and up to Wollongong.
The road winds up the Great Divide escarpment north of Wollongong, and
shortly becomes the Southern Fwy that takes the motorist into Greater Sydney.
