Wollongong

This impressive place might dent your wallet for a delicious, yet small-sized meal, but has the drawcard of magnificent views. Sometimes they hire the whales to twirl and leap out of the water in front of you. We were so glad we chose the day of that performance.

This is an early morning image looking north from the Wollongong lighthouse. The light was great bust the cloud weren’t playing along so it’s was time to get creative. This is a great spot to walk with your camera. There’s so much to see. From exercising locals to the great waves and even the areas of heavy industry to the south.
