People don’t just end up in Wollongong - they choose it.
Because it’s close enough to feel easy, but far enough to feel like a real break. Because you don’t need to over-plan, overthink or overcommit to enjoy it.
And because every time you come back, it still delivers 🙌
That’s what makes Wollongong special - and that’s what makes it a contender for Top Tourism Town, celebrating the best destinations across NSW.
If you’ve ever chosen Wollongong, you already know why it deserves this.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them 💛
Lest We Forget.

Hey Wollongong 👋
This one’s for you.
We entered the NSW Top Tourism Town Awards because we believe this city deserves its moment. Not just for the escarpment or the beaches, but for everything in between - the everyday moments, the familiar places, the feeling you get living here that’s hard to explain but easy to recognise.
It’s the kind of place you don’t always shout about. But you know how good it is. We all do.
So if you live here, love here, or grew up here - this is your chance to back it. To show the rest of NSW what we already know.
