Wollongong

I've just spent five days on the Grand Pacific Drive starting in Wollongong. I would highly recommend this for a road trip as it passes through the cutest little towns; Kiama, Shoalhaven, Shellharbour and Southern Highlands. Make sure you grab a feed at the Hungry Monkey in Kiama, visit Bombo Quarry, waterfalls in the Highlands and Greenfields Beach is adorable! Oh, and Pilgrim cafe and Diggies cafe. So much to see, do and eat!

Just Enjoying an Awesome Autumn Sunset ☀️ Wollongong is about 82 kilometres (51 miles) south of Sydney. #goldenhour
Took a roadtrip down and checked it out. I really loved the dramatic contract between the misty mountains, apartment building, and the sunny ocean. Pretty neat place!
Wollongong Harbour is only a short drive from my home and on this particular afternoon I could see that something special was going to happen with the light. Short on time I quickly came down here to the Historic Lighthouse and watched the sky do unforgettable things. A great place to come with the family or friends for a walk and picnic :) #goldenhour
