Explore Wollongong with Car Hire

Wollongong stretches over forty kilometers along the New South Wales coastline. From the CBD it's just over an hour's drive north to Sydney.

The 17 surf beaches have fewer people and more space than Sydney's beaches and all have free foreshore parking. Drive up to one of several lookouts for fantastic coast and city views. Head to Bass Point for some of the best diving around, with Shellharbour Scuba Centre offering boat dives and diving courses.

The mountains bordering Wollongong are great for mountain bike riding. For a real thrill, sky-dive from the top of the sharp cliff faces. Take a Cockatoo Run vintage train ride through Morton National Park Rainforest or walk through Minnamurra Rainforest to spot lyre birds and wombats.

If you're interested in culture and history, don't miss the Nan Tien Temple, the biggest Buddhist temple in the Southern Hemisphere. There's also a Science Centre and Planetarium and the BHP Australian Historical Flying Museum.
