Coast or escarpment, we dare you to choose 👀
Every day out here looks a little different. Some start with a swim before the sun`s properly up. Some end with a walk under rainforest canopy.
Spoiler alert: the best Wollongong days have both! Save this for when you`re ready to stop choosing and start planning 😉

There are views and then there are views from 15,000ft 🤩
@bigwaveskydive in @visitshellharbour puts you above the NSW coastline for a tandem skydiving experience that is hard to put into words.
Have you ever taken the leap? 🪂

Every girls weekend looks a little different...
Some start with sunrise swims and end with cocktails that stretch well past midnight. Some are built around long lunches and dinner reservations. Some need an escarpment trail and a sauna to feel complete 😉
Wollongong has a version for all of it - and the best part is you don`t have to choose just one. Tag your girls and start planning 🙌🥂

Wollongong has a way of surprising people 👀
The more time you spend here, the more you realise this city is unlike anywhere else in Australia.
Come and see what we mean (and get a selfie with the palm tree) 🙌🏼

Wollongong after dark has a personality all of its own. Whether you`re after cocktails on a rooftop, a dimly lit whisky bar, live music or somewhere to keep the night going until 3am, the city`s nightlife scene has a venue for every kind of evening.
Save this and sort the rest later 🌙
