Wollongong (IPA: [‘wʊlɒŋgɒŋ]) is an industrial city located on the eastern coast of Australia in the state of New South Wales. It is 82km south of Sydney and approximately a 45 minute drive. It is situated in a part of the NSW South Coast known as the Illawarra. Whilst the city is nicknamed "The Gong", the actual name Wollongong is of Aboriginal origin and is said to mean "five islands", as five islands can be seen from the Wollongong coastline, the largest of which is called 'Gang-man-gang'. Wollongong is currently the fourth largest city in New South Wales after Sydney, Newcastle and the Central Coast with a total metropolitan population of 274,072 (2004).

Geography

The City of Wollongong has a distinct geography. It lies on a narrow coastal plain flanked by the Pacific Ocean to the east and a steep sandstone precipice known as the Illawarra Escarpment to the west. The coastal plain is widest in the south and narrowest in the north—to the north of Wollongong it becomes so narrow that the coastal road precariously hugs a cliffline and the Illawarra Railway must go through several tunnels to reach the Sydney metropolitan area. The Escarpment ranges between 150 and 750 metres above sea level, with locally famous mountains such as Mount Keira, Mount Kembla, Broker's Nose and Mount Murray. The Escarpment contains strata of coal measures, and the adit entrances to many coal mines have been established along the slopes of the Escarpment right throughout Wollongong. The plain itself is traversed by several short but flood-prone and fast-flowing streams and creeks such as Para Creek, Allans Creek and Mullet Creek. These plains consist of highly fertile alluvium, which made Wollongong so attractive to agriculturists in the nineteenth century. The coastline itself consists of many beaches characterised by fine pale gold-coloured sands; however, these beaches are sometimes interrupted by prominent and rocky headlands jutting into the sea. A large coastal saltwater lagoon called Lake Illawarra is in the southern part of the city, separated from the Pacific Ocean by a long sandy spit. Just to the north of the lake is Port Kembla, a natural harbour that has been considerably expanded by human-made excavation and reclamation works. Mount Keira (IPA: ) is a 463. ... Mount Kembla is a mountain in the volcanic fold of the Illawarra Escarpment, near Wollongong, Australia. ... Coal is a fossil fuel extracted from the ground by underground mining or open-pit mining (strip mining). ... Gated entrance of an abandoned adit An adit is a type of entrance to an underground mining operation in which the entrance shaft is horizontal or nearly horizontal. ... Alluvium is soil land deposited by a river or other running water. ... Alternative meaning: Nineteenth Century (periodical) (18th century — 19th century — 20th century — more centuries) As a means of recording the passage of time, the 19th century was that century which lasted from 1801-1900 in the sense of the Gregorian calendar. ... Lake Illawarra is a large coastal lagoon, near the city of Wollongong about 100 km south of Sydney, New South Wales. ... Port Kembla is a seaport near Wollongong, in the Illawarra region of New South Wales, Australia. ...

Suburbs of Wollongong include Bulli, Woonona, Thirroul, Fairy Meadow, Bellambi, Balgownie, Corrimal, Towradgi, North Wollongong, Figtree, Mt Ousley, Mangerton, Mt St Thomas, Mt Keira, Keiraville, Gwynneville, West Wollongong, Unanderra, Berkeley, Warrawong, Dapto, Farmborough Heights, Cordeaux Heights, Horsley, Kanahooka, Lake Heights, Primbee, Cringila, Windang and Port Kembla.

History

The area was originally inhabited by the Dharwal (or Turuwal) Indigenous Australians. The first Europeans to visit the area were the navigators George Bass and Matthew Flinders who landed in Lake Illawarra in 1796. The first settlers in the region were cedar cutters in the early nineteenth century, followed by graziers in 1812. Charles Throsby established a stockman's hut in the area in 1815. The first land grants were made in 1816. Further settlers arrived and in 1834 a town was planned. A road down the Escarpment through Bulli Pass was built by convict labour in 1835-6. By 1856 Wollongong had a population of 864. The Illawarra Railway to Wollongong was completed in 1887, and now continues as far south as the town of Bomaderry on the Shoalhaven River. The Turuwal are an Aboriginal tribe based in New South Wales, Australia, famous for inventing the boomerang. ... The Indigenous Australians are the first inhabitants of the Australian continent and its nearby islands, continuing their presence during European settlement. ... George Bass Dr George Bass, British naval surgeon and explorer of Australia (1771-1803), was born at Aswarby, a hamlet near Sleaford Lincolnshire and was educated at Boston Grammar School. ... Captain Matthew Flinders, RN (16 March 1774 - 19 July 1814) was one of the most accomplished navigators and chartmakers of his age. ... Bomaderry is a town in the Shoalhaven council district area of New South Wales, Australia. ...

The navigator George Bass first documented the Illawarra coal deposits in 1797. There have been many coalmines in the district. Australia's worst coal mining disaster occurred in 1902, at the Mount Kembla mine when an explosion killed 94 men and boys, the youngest aged 14, the oldest 69. Two other men died attempting to rescue survivors.

Heavy industry was attracted to the region by the ready availability of coal. In 1928 Hoskins, later Australian Iron & Steel, started a steelworks at Port Kembla, a few kilometres south of Wollongong. The former Broken Hill Proprietary Company (now BHP Billiton after merging with Billiton) acquired AI&S in 1935, but has since spun-out their steel division as a separate company, now known as BlueScope Steel. The steelworks has grown to become a world-class flat rolled steel producer, operating as a fully integrated steel plant with a production of around 5 million tonnes per year. Other industries to have set up in the massive Port Kembla industrial complex—the largest single concentration of heavy industry in Australia—include a fertiliser plant, an electrolytic copper smelter (featuring the tallest chimney in Australia), a locomotive workshop, a coal export shipping terminal, a grain export shipping terminal and an industrial gases manufacturing plant. BHP Billiton is the worlds largest mining company. ... BlueScope Steel is a flat product steel producer with operations in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the Pacific and North America. ...

Despite the decline of traditional manufacturing and blue-collar industries due to the abandonment of protectionist economic policies in the 1980s, many of these industrial installations still exist. This has not stopped Wollongong having the unenviable distinction of one of Australia's highest unemployment rates and rates of drug dependency. The city's economy is, however, on the rebound, thanks to diversification of economic activity including higher education, the fine arts, tourism, residential construction and eco-friendly electricity generation, however, the city's economy still relies primarily on heavy industry, and will continue to in the near future. Protectionism is the economic policy of protecting a nations manufacturing base from the effects of foreign competition (such as including Dumping) by means of high tariffs on imported goods, restrictive quotas, and other means of reducing importation. ...

The Municipality of Wollongong was founded in 1859. It was incorporated as the City of Wollongong in 1942. The State Government forcibly amalgamated the City of Wollongong with the neighbouring Municipality of Northern Illawarra, the Shire of Bulli and the Shire of Central Illawarra to form the City of Greater Wollongong in 1947. Its name reverted to being simply the City of Wollongong in 1970. Its motto is "Urbs Inter Mare Montemque"—"City Between The Mountains And The Sea". Its corporate slogan is "City of Innovation". 1859 is a common year starting on Saturday. ...

More recently, Wollongong has become an attractive destination for new residents moving from Sydney seeking lower real estate prices, less traffic congestion and an less developed natural environment. Wollongong's cheaper real estate, combined with efficient transport links to Sydney via CityRail's South Coast Line and the F6 Southern Freeway, have seen many young families move to new subdivisions in Wollongong while retaining jobs in Sydney.
