Sea Cliff Bridge is one of the world's seven off-shore parallel-to-coast bridges in the northern Illawarra region of New South Wales, Australia. Named by Makenzie Russell, an eleven-year-old student, through a naming competition open to local primary school students, the bridge offers an incredible view of migrating whales during their north/south migration. Its location allows a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean, with one side facing the mountains and the other overlooking the ocean. Distinguished by its balanced cantilever design, the bridge spans approximately 456 meters. Along the way, informational picture boards detail the history and construction of the Sea Cliff Bridge, offering a scenic view of the bridge itself and the coastline.

SEA CLIFF BRIDGE REVIEWS
Stunning views from here, while you zoom past the Great pacific ocean drive. Great views of the bridge from Stanwell top car parks. Lost my drone here, watch out for the birds and strong winds..
Stunning route along the coast. Well worth getting out the car for a walk along the bridge. Would love to come around sunrise, but sunset was beautiful and sure it’s great the rest of the day as well! Very busy, with plenty of tourists.
Iconic !! Plenty of parking spaces are available (both start and end of the bridge)next to the bridge. Small hike(entrance next to the bridge) reaches the scenic view of the bridge.

FLAGSTAFF POINT REVIEWS
A fabulous look out place in Wollongong, the place is brilliantly maintained, parking can be a bit challenging during weekends though. The lighthouse is very close to Cove beach which is super kid friendly and North Wollongong beach is ideal for family and surfers, the vastness and expanse of the beach will surely be a treat.
A centrepiece of Wollongong, the Flagstaff Point Lighthouse in a must-see when visiting the sights of Wollongong. Plentiful parking in the close-by parking lots or along the street. Once there, you have 360 degree views of the ocean, beaches, city and mountains of Wollongong. Many cafes, restaurants and toilet facilities nearby. This is a great spot for a picnic.
Amazing view , easy access and free parking , nice and clean area to be out with family , variety of food nearby too , highly recommended..

ILLAWARRA MUSEUM REVIEWS
What a great start to your Wollongong visit. The building was originally The post and Telegraphic centre of the Illawarra. A great insight into the interesting past of local settlers and the community. Not far from the city centre.
I've taken groups of Cub Scouts (8-11) to this museum a couple of times, and they've always enjoyed learning about Wollongong's early settled history. The curators have put a lot of effort into presenting the building "as it was" and really do set the scene for what life was like for our pioneering forefathers/mothers.
As a local I wish I discovered this sooner. So many great things to photograph and learn. Top place to visit, 5 stars!
