Maybe the best way to start spring is to slow right down…
Watch the sun come up over the ocean. Wander the coastline while it’s still quiet, or take a refreshing dip before the day gets busy.
Wollongong mornings are pretty good at making an early start feel worthwhile, don’t you think? 🌅

Friday plans just got a little easier 🍹
Head to @headlandsaustinmerbeach on Fridays from 5-7pm for $12 cocktails, or drop by Monday to Saturday for $6 house beer and wine.
Basically, there’s always a reason to grab a drink by the coast!

What really happens when you jump out of a plane from 15,000 feet? 🪂
You feel it from the second you climb into the plane. The climb feels slower than expected. Then the door opens, and there`s no talking yourself out of it.
Freefall turns into a quiet float back down, with the Shellharbour coast laid out below you. It`s the kind of view you don`t get any other way.
This is what @bigwaveskydive do best. Book yours and find out for yourself!
