About Wollongong
Geography defines Wollongong, as the city is never more than roughly 6 km at its widest but stretches over 40 km from south to north. Its growth was limited by mountains, which are not so much high as steep, and the sea, Wollongong has grown to include a whole chain of coastal towns, from Dapto and Port Kembla in the south to Bulli, Austinmer, and even up to Stanwell Park in the north. Continuous development has stretched the urban area along the coast as far as Kiama in the distant south but those areas are serviced by the growing centre of Shellharbour. Most of Wollongong's suburbs, including several popular beach towns, are covered in this article. The very northern suburbs ofHelensburghandStanwell Parkare covered in their own articles; in many ways they have closer ties to southernSydn
