NiO: portal to the northern suburbs of Wollongong

The Northern Illawarra is situated just one hour south of Sydney, wedged between the Illawarra Escarpment and the sea - these suburbs of Wollongong have many spectacular natural features and offer easy access to a range of exciting activities. Some of these features include Bald Hill (well known for its spectacular view and hangliding), the Illawarra Escarpment and Royal National Park, Sea Cliff Bridge and Grand Pacific Drive, and Sri Venkateswara Temple. As a touring destination, the Northern Illawarra is unsurpassed, offering motorists spectacular views as it hugs the coastline. Find out more about the Coastal Villages of the Northern Illawarra...
