Illawarra line - Definition and Overview

The Illawarra Line and South Coast Line are located in Sydney, Australia, and are two rail lines in CityRail's south coast network. The network stretches from Bondi Junction in the north, through Helensburgh and the Royal National Park, to Dapto in the south, then continuing to Kiama and the Shoalhaven.
