WOONONA & BULLI
Further down the Princes Highway, located 11 kilometres north of Wollongong is Bulli. Established as a coal mining village in the 1860s, Bulli boasts many buildings and monuments from that era.
Visit the historic Bulli railway station and the Black Diamond District Heritage Centre inside(ph 4284 9216). A short walk from there takes you to the Illawarra Grevillea Park. The park has open days throughout the year with beautiful landscaped grounds. While there enjoy a picnic lunch or barbeque (email info@grevilleapark.org).
For a fun day out at the dogs, visit the Bulli Greyhound Racing Club nearby (ph 4267 1467).
