Appin

• Summary
• Weather for Appin

Appin is located at the north eastern corner of the Wollondilly Region closer to Campbelltown than Picton. It is still sufficiently 'in the country' to retain its rural charm, and the presence nearby of thousands of hectares of national parklands, bushwalking trails, and the Cataract Dam make it a worthwhile stopover for the traveller.

Appin has a small shopping area, rows of well-kept houses, parks and playing fields.

It is the last township on the route through Campbelltown down the escarpment to Wollongong, and if you go straight ahead at the intersection after town, you can still follow the old route inland - down Broughton Pass over the Cataract River, through Wilton - to old Stonequarry (Picton), and to the Highlands and beyond, just as Hamilton Hume did 180 years ago.
