Camellias Illawarra is one of eleven affiliates scattered throughout Australia of the “parent body”, Camellias Australia Inc. Their website is: - www.camellias.org.au

Our Illawarra branch was founded in 1952 and we now have a membership of over 90. Members come from Falls Creek and Pyree in the south, through to Wollongong, north to Camden, Silverdale, and South Sydney, extending to Bowral, Picton, Canberra and adjacent areas. Anyone who has an interest in Camellias can join the society; there is no restriction on membership.

The members meet generally at Legacy House, 96 Market Street, Wollongong on the third Saturday in the months of February to October at 2.00pm. A Christmas gathering occurs on the same Saturday in November. Benching of blooms commences prior to the monthly business meeting at 1.30pm during the months March to September, or as dictated by the availability of suitable blooms. Our Annual Camellia Show is held on the third Saturday and the following Sunday in July of each year. The venue is the Function Centre, Wollongong TAFE, off Foleys Road, Wollongong. The Reticulata Show is held at Legacy House, 96 Market Street, Wollongong on the third Saturday of August and the following Sunday.
