Waterfalls, Heath and a Long Way to the Nearest Tower

Tianjara is a remote locality on the high sandstone plateau west of Nowra, best known for Tianjara Falls, where a creek drops off the plateau edge beside the Braidwood Road. The surrounding country is open heath, low woodland and deep gorges, most of it within Morton National Park. It carries the 2622 postcode shared with Braidwood, but it lies inside Shoalhaven City.

Very few people live here, and the population is small enough that most travellers see only the lookout and the road. For those who do hold land or keep a retreat in the area, getting online and staying in contact are the main technology challenges. There is no town, little or no mobile coverage and no fixed-line internet, so every solution starts with the sky above the property.

Making a Plateau Retreat Liveable Online

Properties near Tianjara are usually retreats, small holdings or conservation-minded homes rather than suburban houses. Many run on solar with battery storage. Satellite internet, most often Starlink, is how they reach the world, which means power budgets, cabling and dish placement all need thought.

The plateau is exposed. Wind, fog, heavy rain and occasional frost can be hard on equipment that was never meant to live outdoors, and bushfire risk is ever-present in summer. Reliable emergency communication and backups of personal records are just as important here as streaming or email.

  • Planning a solar-friendly setup that keeps satellite internet running overnight.
  • Choosing weather-rated cabling and mounts for an exposed plateau site.
  • Configuring Wi-Fi calling so phones can reach emergency contacts.
  • Storing important family documents securely in the cloud.
  • Setting up simple remote alerts when power or internet drops out.

Land Managers, Researchers and Remote Workers

The small amount of commercial activity near Tianjara includes land management, conservation and environmental work, the occasional nature-based tourism venture, and professionals who choose to work remotely for part of the week. Visitors to the lookout and the national park also pass through, but there are no shops or services on the plateau.

For anyone working from here, data safety and communication are the priorities. Devices must be secured in case they are left unattended, files should sync to the cloud whenever a connection is available, and there should be a plan for when the satellite link is interrupted.

  • Cloud syncing of field notes, photos and reports whenever the dish is online.
  • Protecting laptops with endpoint protection and encryption.
  • Satellite messaging devices for work beyond any coverage.
  • Microsoft 365 setup for small environmental and consulting businesses.
  • Remote support arrangements so issues are handled without a trip.

The Braidwood Road Through Tianjara

The Braidwood Road climbs from Nowra through Yerriyong and onto the plateau, passing Tianjara Falls before continuing to Sassafras, Nerriga and eventually Braidwood. Side tracks leading to private holdings can be rough, and some may require a four-wheel drive, particularly after rain.

We handle most requests from remote properties through secure remote sessions once a connection is established. When on-site work is needed, such as installing a dish or replacing equipment, we plan the trip in advance, confirm directions and conditions, and coordinate it with other work around Nowra.

Other places we look after in the 2622 postcode include Araluen North 2622, Araluen 2622, Back Creek 2622, Ballalaba 2622 and Bendoura 2622. See every suburb in Shoalhaven, or our IT Support Canberra page for the whole district.

Tianjara Property FAQs

Coverage on the plateau is very limited and unreliable. Most residents rely on satellite internet and use Wi-Fi calling to make phone calls at home. For travel beyond the house, a satellite messenger or a phone with satellite messaging features is worth considering.
It depends on usage hours and your other loads. Starlink can draw a significant amount of power continuously, so we measure actual consumption and look at your battery capacity and winter sunlight. Sometimes scheduling sleep periods is enough; other times additional panels or batteries are needed.
Yes. We use outdoor-rated cable, secure mounts and weatherproof connectors, and we place equipment where it is protected from the worst wind. A solid install avoids repeated dropouts and repairs later on.
For jobs that genuinely need hands-on work, yes. We schedule the visit in advance and plan it with other work around Nowra. Many problems can be solved remotely, which is faster and more economical for you.
