Bulli and Woonona

Bulli is 11 kilometres north of Wollongong. 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 4283 6429). A short walk from there takes you to the Illawarra Grevillea Park. The park has open days throughout the year. While there enjoy a picnic lunch or barbeque.
For a fun day out, visit the Bulli Greyhound Racing Club nearby (ph 4267 1467).
And if you are an art lover, visit Beach Art on the Princes Highway. They have a great display of local artwork and art supplies (ph 4285 4111).
Bulli’s 900m beach has a picnic area and children’s playground. If you can’t do it all in one day, book into the Bulli Beach Tourist Park located right on the beachfront on Farrell Road (ph 4285 5677). Comfortable cabins, bungalows, caravan and tent sites are available for overnight and longer stays.
At the top of Bulli Pass you can enjoy spectacular views of the coastline.
The next village south is Woonona. For a game of bowls or a cool drink drop into Woonona Bowling Club on Greta Street (ph 4285 1112). When staying in Woonona, try the Windmill Motel, only 15 minutes from Wollongong (ph 4284 8766).
A little further south is Russell Vale Golf Club (ph 4285 1286). It promises a challenging course for all levels and stunning escarpment and ocean views.
