Places of interest

I hear you asking, "But are there any places of interest in Wollongong?" Well my friend, let me mention just a few.
Illawarra Historical Society Museum
Located in the former post office (1882-92). Some rooms are furnished to capture the building's pre-federation domestic style and there are museum exhibits.
St Michael's Church
One of the most notable remaining buildings from the 19th century. Designed by respected ecclesiastical architect Edmund Blacket and built in 1859, is strategically sited on a hill.
Market Square
Opposite the museum, retains early lampposts, bandstand and avenue of spreading fig trees.
Belmore Basin Lighthouse
Is an iron lighthouse (1872) reputedly watched over by the spirit of a harbour pilot who drowned in 1867.
The Wollongong City Art Gallery
Its major collection includes some fine colonial paintings of the region.
Illawarra Motoring Museum
Conjures up more leisurely days with its vintage vehicles and memorabilia.
