East Nowra Pathway plants Vandals have left a sickening trail of senseless ruin in a highly destructive rampage through an area of East Nowra, which has recently undergone an expensive beautification program.

As a part of project to improve the appearance and amenity of East Nowra, council has laid a new concrete path and cycleway between Salisbury Drive and the Greenwell Point Road.
