Wollongong, NSW, 2500 AU / NSW
Wollongong Harbour is situated 81km south of Sydney on the Australian east coast. It is the only point on the east coast to have 2 lighthouses, the other being Wollongong Headland Lighthouse. With the expansion out of Sydney in the early 1800's, Wollongong Harbour was developed to serve the new township of Wollongong and the Illawarra region. In the 1860's work on the harbour included the construction of a basin and breakwater. At this time "... at the end of the pier a red light was fixed to guide boats into the harbour."
