Wollongong is noted for its heavy industry, its port activity and the quality of its physical setting, occupying a narrow coastal plain between an almost continuous chain of surf beaches and the cliff line of the rain forest-covered Illawarra escarpment. We spent a week here, making regular trips to the city library to avail ourselves of their free WiFi. I liked Wollongong, a no nonsense kind of place.

The bridge was officially opened by NSW Premier Morris Iemma at a 'ribbon cutting' ceremony on 11 December 2005, and has met with great public approval and increased business for the area's tourism industry.

The Sea Cliff Bridge was named by 11 Year old schoolgirl Makenzie Russell (St. Brigids)[4] following a naming competition opened to local primary school students.

The walk along the cliffs here are quite something, with clear views along the coast line.
