Welcome to Thirroul


THIRROUL has a strong arts community, and can trace its artistic heritage back to the days when D.H. Lawrence lived in the village and wrote his renowned novel, Kangaroo (circa 1922). Today, local artists regularly open their studios to visitors, while the hugely popular Thirroul Seaside and Arts Festival exposes their work to the broader community.
