Port Kembla is a seaport near Wollongong, in the Illawarra region of New South Wales, Australia. It is essentially an industrial complex (one of the largest in Australia), but also covers a small harbour foreshore nature reserve and a small town with shops. It is linked to Wollongong by the small village of Coniston and is notable for its steel works, with many ships passing by the Wollongong beaches every day northward. Port Kembla has two main railway stations, Port Kembla (near the town), and Port Kembla North, (near the industry complex). It also contains Australia's tallest chimney.
