Workation in Wollongong: the essentials
Wollongong is squeezed onto a narrow plain between the Illawarra Escarpment and a chain of surf beaches, south of Sydney. The third-largest city in New South Wales, with about 300,000 people, grew around the Port Kembla steelworks, which are still working, and the University of Wollongong now plays an equally large part. Nan Tien Temple, one of the biggest Buddhist temples in the southern hemisphere, stands on the edge of town, and the road north over the Sea Cliff Bridge runs past hang-gliders at Bald Hill. Trains to Sydney take around 90 minutes, and most people fly from Sydney Airport, about 60 km away.
