Plenty of offshore and deep sea fishing charters out of Wollongong and Shellharbour as well as Port Kembla or hire a boat and gear on the lake. Wollongong is all about water and beach activities combined with endless walking trails through rainforest and eucalyptus forests along the escarpment. Illawarra is Sydney's hidden paradise.
Best coastline in Australia was not treated right by the government should be the biggest beach holiday place amazing surf blow holes beautiful. Potential plus
Things to do in Wollongong. Number One. Get out of Wollongong because it sucks here. It's too noisy and the people are unfriendly, paranoid idiots. I have encountered many people that say there is no place like it, and not in a good way, because the people there are weird. Even psychologists say that. The people are afraid of everything. They see a tiger in every bush. If you stare at them longer than five seconds they think you want to bash them up. Which of course in most cases with most people, that simply isn't true. There are a hundred places just like it that are quieter and with more friendlier people. The city is undergoing major expansion and development but if you travel through it you'll notice for a small city it is quite noisy. Also if you go to the mall you might encounter someone trying to sell you drugs, or get you to sell them drugs, or some bludger wanting money off you and if you don't give it to them they'll abuse you. The town has certainly changed since the 80s where there was no mall like today, but since the 90s there have been an increase influx of undesirables, junkies and bludgers because of that mall. Furthermore, Wollongong is nothing special other than its low crime rate which makes it a mostly safe city, however as I've said, it's nothing special regarding tourist attractions and it would be better to save your money and do your research and go elsewhere in Australia, where you'll meet friendlier people and have a better time. Here the snobs and paranoids wouldn't give you the time of day or help you out if you got lost if their lives depended on it, they would ignore you as if you didn't exist. And there's a lot of them. I have encountered many people who live there and they say they want to get out too, the city is nothing special with attractions or anything.

Amazing Wollongong, so many interesting things to do there
Thank you for a great video! Very nicely edited.
Thank you very much!
Nice information
What about skydiving at Stewart Park 😢
Great suggestion! Will add in Part 2 if we do one.
What’s so exciting about that 😏
@@michelebarnett718The bloke who drives the bus to the plane is a lunatic driver, that's exciting.

But which is more livable? Wollongong or Newcastle?
We only do travel videos, so we can't answer expats or living-related questions :)
100% Wollongong for communication and friendliness but Newcastle for costs. I’m familiar with both.
Thanks!
@TheAussiedoseofhappiness
Could you please tell more about the two cities?
@@ArabianAusToo much to tell, best you google both cities as well as look at Google Earth to get an idea of the different layouts and geography.
I studied 2 semesters at Uni of Wollongong in 96/97. I was far to busy to do a lot of these things, also I think not all of these existed in 1996.
Have you thought of going back to visit?
@@beforeyougotravel I would love to, but life happened.
It was a very different town back then.
"Woolon Gong"
Don't ever say that to someone here or you might get attacked.
"Illa Warwah"
I went to the Nan Tien Temple in year 3, It rained when we were going back to school.
I went to Jamberoo like once and it was okay.
That Science Space reminds me of Questacon.
I've been to the gardens once but it was at night and it was very fucking cold. I think there was a kangaroo there.
As a Wollongong resident the best things to do here are
1. smoke meth
2. do cocaine
3. do mdma
4. All of the above at once
5. Leave
hahaha
Is it boring?
Let’s hope you are on number 5
Even better is catching the junkies breaking into your car while no one else is watching. Very satisfying.
🎉
Leave! Go to Newcastle.
Haha
I lived there for 3 years then I had to move because my brother got too sick it is great tho
Then realise what you're missing and return.
