The SS Illawarra (522 tons gross) was the second paddle steamer to bear that name on the South Coast run. She was built in Newcastle on Tyne in 1879 and until 1908 operated as a regular passenger service between Sydney , Wollongong , and Shoalhaven. She was eventually broken up in 1911. The Illawarra was the last of the great paddle steamers to ply along the southern coast of New South Wales . References: Andrews (1979), France (1988), Walsh (1990).
