4. And awesome beaches right next to the city.
5. With plenty more in the surrounding suburbs.
6. But it's not all beaches. There's also a lake!

9. And waterfalls.
10. The nearby countryside is quite lovely.
11. And the Botanic Gardens are super pretty.
12. Wollongong is home to the biggest Buddhist temple in the Southern Hemisphere.
13. And an awesome uni.
14. Of course, there's also the city itself, which is the third largest in New South Wales.
15. It's close enough to Sydney to make it easy to visit.
16. But far enough away that it's more laid back.
Basically, the Gong is something to smile about.
