Ulladulla

Ulladulla is a coastal town in New South Wales, Australia. Situated on the Prince's highway, it is approximately equally distant between the larger towns of Batemans Bay to the south and Nowra to the north. It is three hours' driving time south of Sydney. The Ulladulla area is a seven kilometre stretch of continuous urban residential development from the southern end of Ulladulla, through the town of Mollymook, to Narrawalle in the north, terminating at the Narrawalle estuary.

The low-key underdeveloped beaches along this stretch are mainly populated by Sydneysiders during holiday periods, with some Canberrans too. Although Canberrans largely holiday further south, to Kiola and Bateman's Bay. The area is largely unknown amongst Victorian holiday makers, who usually frequent more southerly destinations such as Eden and Merimbula.

The name of the town, Ulladulla, comes from the aboriginal word Nulladulla, apparently meaning safe harbour. Ulladulla Harbour is the home port of the largest commercial fishing fleet on the South Coast of New South Wales. As a result of the influence of Italian fishing families in the area, each Easter a "Blessing of the Fleet" ceremony occurs, although in 2004 and 2005 the accompanying celebration was cancelled due to a sharp rise in the public liability premium.

The town gained its first traffic light in the 1990s and one of its most notable landmarks is the Marlin Hotel with its big fluorescent marlin on the roof, which can be viewed from the sea.

Ulladulla is surrounded by adjoining towns, of Milton, and Burrill Lake as well as the aforemention Mollymook and Narrawalle. The extended area from Burrill Lake to Milton is refered to as the Milton-Ulladulla area.

There are five schools in the district, including an indendent primary school in Milton.
