The third largest city in New South Wales, Wollongong is just an hour's drive away from Sydney. Restaurants, bars, arts, culture and entertainment coupled with laid-back lifestyle around the beaches make this city a great weekend getaway. Wollongong is a destination that offers plenty of opportunities for adventurous activities like surfing, swimming, sailing, hang-gliding, paragliding, cycling and abseiling. It is also the only place in NSW where tourists can sky dive onto the beach. The Nan Tien Temple is another major attraction and is the largest Buddhist temple in the Southern Hemisphere.
