Wollongong is a city in south-eastern New South Wales, Australia.
The third largest city in New South Wales, historically it was a centre of heavy industries such as coal and steel, with Port Kembla at its heart.
This led to the persisting perception that Wollongong was a big, smelly, smoky, and very ugly industrial mess. But in reality, the image of the classic 'dark satanic mills' of the city’s industrial past has been largely superseded by its naturally beautiful landscape dominated by its rainforest-covered escarpment and stunning golden beaches.
Wollongong, an aboriginal word meaning “sound of the sea,” is located on the coast of the Tasman Sea with a coastal sprawl extending nearly 37 miles. Adorned by beautiful northern beaches, charming, rugged woodland, and elegant Botanic Gardens that offer excellent picnic areas, Wollongong is a city worth exploring.
Though it possesses an escape-worthy collection of beautiful scenery and thrilling adventures, the city is also equipped with other iconic attractions, good eats, and intriguing art.
The Wollongong City Gallery is an exceptional regional gallery that houses a large collection of colonial, Asian, Aboriginal, and contemporary art. Notable works from famous Australian painters, including Conrad Martens, Margaret Olley, Arthur Boyd, and Ian Fairweather, can be found in one of Australia’s finest art galleries.
If you are into theatre, music, or comedy, The Illawarra Performing Arts Centre has venues for all three.
The Science Space is home to Australia’s most digitally advanced Planetarium. See demonstrations of science, engineering and technology from over 100 interactive exhibits.
For a dose of the city’s history, check out guided tours of the Port Kembla Steelworks and the historic Blue Mile. With just a short drive south of Wollongong, you can witness Nan Tien Temple, the largest Buddhist temple in the Southern Hemisphere.
Located 50 miles south of Sydney, Wollongong is just a 90-minute drive from the capital of New South Wales (NSW). A train ride from Sydney to Wollongong is also an hour and a half.
Beautiful natural surroundings, oceanic climate that rarely produces unpleasant weather, and a small population, Wollongong provides an excellent environment for great student living.
The city sits on a long, narrow coastal strip filled with beaches and is home to one of Australia’s top universities (University of Wollongong), which is just a short drive inland from the city centre. Well connected to a major city and equipped with high educational standards, Wollongong is rated as Australia’s most liveable small city and best small city for students.
Fairly relaxed when the sun is up, Wollongong tends to get busy when the sun goes down.
No more than three miles wide, the city’s narrowness pushes its restaurants, cafes, pubs, and night life scene into a central area. The concentration is not a bother for students because the majority of the city’s student population live close to the Central Business District (CBD).
Top options such as Humber Rooftop Bar, The Throsby, Night Parrot Bar and Kitchen, The Little Prince, Red Square and Howlin’ Wolf Whisky Bar, make Wollongong’s small bar scene worth checking out.
Due to its migrant history, Wollongong’s food scene has strong international influences. The city has a great range of affordable eating options including Mediterranean, Eastern European, and Asian.
From visiting bustling food markets, exploring the dedicated ‘eat street’ on Keira Street, Babyface Kitchen for a seasonal produce-inspired menu, His Boy Elroy for American-style burgers, to Rookie Eatery for contemporary cuisine, there are a plethora of delightful ‘foodie’ experiences on offer in Wollongong.
The University of Wollongong’s main campus is blessed with a relaxed, quintessentially Australian setting. Blending in with Wollongong’s natural environment, the campus grounds back on to a nature reserve and are ordained with native trees, streams, and duck ponds.
The rest of Wollongong is also filled with plenty of outdoor adventures, from scuba diving to surfing, fishing, skydiving and mountain biking.
Take a dip in the waters at one of the many beaches that line the edge of the city or explore rainforest walking tracks on the Illawarra Escarpment at Mount Keira and Mount Kembla.
A car is very handy for exploring Wollongong’s long coastal landscape that’s loaded with interesting things beyond the beaches.
