Wollongong Location and weather
Taking a sneak peek at the location of the place, you will find that the
city has a distinct Geography to narrate. The city is beautifully
located on a narrow coastal plain, flanked by the Pacific Ocean to the
east, the steep sandstone precipice that is the Illawarra escarpment to
the west. You will be fascinated by the number of hills that you will
find here, despite being located on the plain. The railway of Mount
Mangerton and Mount Saint Thomas gives a distinct character to the whole
look of the city. If you desire to stay here, then know the names of the
hills, which are not so high in height, but look fantastic from a
distance. The small individual valleys add to the beauty of the place.
 Towards the north of the city, you will find the Stuart Park, part of
which is the fairy park creek system. Take a walk towards the north of
this place and you will find the bushwalking reserve, which is for the
birdlife and the coastal wetlands. As you take a walk towards the
southeast of the city, you will find islands, which is collectively
known as “The Five Islands”. These islands are separately known by
different names as you explore more.
How good is the weather?
Wollongong has a variety of things on the platter to offer. You will
love the mild coastal climate with temperatures varying between 17°C in
the winter and 26°C in the summer. If you have difficulties in resisting
the hot summer then you will feel relieved by the southerly busters,
which is the rapid moving cool air. A fair distribution of rainfall
throughout the year makes it more interesting. Especially the July and
August months are known as the windy months – punched with the western
gales that come at a speed of over 100 km/h. Therefore, it would be best
to visit Wollongong during the winters.
