Australia is home to more beautiful cities than we can count, but they’re often overshadowed by bustling metropolises such as Sydney and Melbourne. That happens to be the case with Wollongong, but here are a few reasons why you should consider checking it out.
Stunning Nature
Wollongong is framed by the forests and rocky cliffs, and its natural beauty knows no bounds. After visiting Symbio Wildlife Park and Wollongong Botanic Garden, step out of the city and discover many of its surrounding wonders, such as Lake Illawarra, Killalea Reserve, and Mount Keira.
Beautiful Beaches
Speaking of Wollongong’s amazing nature, you’ll get to discover many scenic beaches around the city. Wattamolla Beach, Garie Beach, and Wollongong Beach are some of the very best.
Amazing Architecture
The architectural beauty of the Gong is also pretty impressive, and it’s home to several one-of-a-kind attractions. Sea Cliff Bridge is one of only seven off-shore parallel-to-coast bridges in the world, while the Nan Tien Temple happens to be the largest Buddhist temple in the southern hemisphere
Kid-Friendly Spots
In addition to beaches and natural reserves, Wollongong offers several more spots that you can visit with your entire family. Jamberoo Action Park offers many fun attractions for your little ones, and so does the interactive museum Science Space.
