Getting here

Wollongong is just over an hour’s drive south of Sydney.

The quickest way to get here is via the M1 Princes Motorway, or using the Sydney Trains network.

If you’ve got a little more time and want to take the scenic route, follow the Grand Pacific drive.  This will take you past some of the world’s best views at Bald Hill, and across the iconic Sea Cliff Bridge. You can also explore some of our picturesque northern coastal villages on the way to the city centre.
