Helensburgh

Wollongong

Best way to spend NYE. And about an hour and half away from Sydney 🙏
NYE: Reaching the waterfall requires going off the track and absailing down a small cliff. Probably the best place Ive seen in NSW so far
The Helensburgh station was closed in 1915 & is an integral part of Sydney's rail history. It's abb awesome area to explore and perhaps see some glow worms!
Abandoned in the early 1900's this old train station and tunnel was only rediscovered in 1995. #ontheroad #history

The greeting on reception was lovely, you felt comfortable immediately. Price if a pint was a little expensive but thats only to be expected, good choice on menu for food but the 24/7 snack shack was a revelation overall an excellent stop.

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.
