Wollongong Road Trip

Finally a road trip!!


Siau Yun's bf came down from Malaysia... so she decided to organise a road trip to Wollongong which I'm very keen to visit as well.

To my understanding... Wollongong is famous for two things: Blue Scope Steel (They have a whole country of their own there) and Blowhole... which is actually located off Wollongong in a town called Kiama.

Hmm I really miss being unemployed... Had all the time in the world to do so much research before any road trip last year. This trip... only had half a day to prepare, but since is a day trip we only need to go the 2 main destination.

23 August 2009

First stop was to have Breakfast at Balmain...

Gotta charge up some fuel for the 3 hours drive.

*slurp Slurp*


Our first stop down south: Bald Hill

Overlooking the Sea Cliff Bridge and beyond (Wollongong possibly?)


That's the Sea Cliff Bridge

WOLLONGONG!!


Did not take any picture... that was taken from my car. The town was damn packed so we decided to forgo lunch and just have early dinner. From the view you can pretty tell Wollongong is mainly an industrial zone.


After a 3 hours drive we finally reached out main destination...Kiama.

I actually did not stop at the main blowhole cause after doing some research the night b4, heard that there's another blowhole called the Little Blowhole... which is much smaller in size, but have a higher chance of seeing it 'Blow'. The main blowhole have to depend entirely on the Correct tide and Correct wind condition.




Can you see the spurt from the lil' blowhole?


PICTURE PERFECT!

It actually took lots and lots of patience to actually get it to 'blow'... and to capture it at the right time as well.

Headed back to the main blowhole and boy were we glad we came here last... cause the tide was so low that there was 0% chance of the main blowhole to blow. So we just took some picture and had dinner before heading home.


Presenting the highlight of the trip... taken at the main Blowhole. Love the effect of the sky...
