  1. Woonona isn't one uniform market — it's made up of micro-pockets. Two streets can offer very different outcomes depending on walkability, traffic, parking, noise, and aspect.
    If you're considering Woonona, focus on the street-level details, not just the postcode.
    If you'd like a quick "pocket check" on a shortlist, message us with your budget and 2–3 preferred streets/suburbs. #buyersagent #wollongong #illawarraproperty #shellharbour #kiama

  4. Bombo Headland Geological Site

    In this post: The crashing seas and imposing rock columns at Bombo Headland Geological Site, south of Sydney on Australia’s east coast

    This is the blog of Mark Wordsworm, the travelling worm. I’m a 40-year-old bookmark (give or take a few years) and I proudly boast my own Hallmark serial number, 95 HBM 80-1. You’ll probably want to read all about me and my Travelling Companion (the TC).

    Today’s travel notes

    This worm has crawled past Bombo Headland several times, on past journeys heading south out of Sydney. Never before have I stopped to see what goes on in the area. A few days ago, me and the TC detoured off the beaten track (namely, the M1) to spend a couple of nights in Wollongong. During our stay, we took the small coastal roads down to Kiama, and on the way we stopped to see the headland.

    The book I’m in

    The Between by Tananarive Due. The TC has only recently discovered this amazing author. Already, we’re more than half way into our second book of hers, and the TC has bought four more. Count ’em, four! Tananarive Due writes beautifully-composed horror. Get into one of her books as soon as you can.

    Travel tips

    Take a detour from the highways whenever time allows.

    The photos

    Me at Bombo Beach:

    A short walk from the beach, the waves churn and crash between the rock formations at Bombo Headland Geological Site:

    https://youtu.be/pmp_CPcXDW4

    A still photo of the same spot captures the watery turmoil:

    The tall, squared-off columns of rock are imposing. The rocky ground beneath the rocks is quite bare, and glares in the hard sunlight. Combined with the churning seas, the effect is a little threatening. Definitely eery.

    The columns are made of basalt and have a distinctive hexagonal shape, formed during volcanic eruptions 270 million years ago. Basalt is a hard igneous rock that’s produced when lava cools rapidly.

    If you walk around behind the rock towers, the scene is more tranquil. A shallow pool lies quiet in the sunlight:

    The occasional wave bounces high enough to breach the gap in the rocks and refresh the pool:

    The TC, bless her slightly wet cotton socks, posed in front of another gap. She waited patiently for that Internet-favourite shot with the waves crashing behind her:

    Here’s the same Internet-famous spot, without the TC this time:

    That’s all for today, folks

  9. One of my favourite Photos from the Austrade & Australian Nation Brand Shoot of Sarah from Popes Produce .

    #sustainability #netzero #illawarra #wollongong #austrade #australiabrand #nsw #australia

    Popes Produce operates on a 1/5 acre plot in suburban coastal NSW, focusing on sustainable farming practices. This community farm integrates green agriculture techniques to provide fresh produce directly to the market, fostering local food production and community engagement.

  10. It's a LOT cooler in #PortKembla and we're ready to sell amazing books. Come visit The Wentworth market 6pm to 9pm. #Wollongong

  11. For fellow - what are we, Mastodonians? - in #wollongong, #illawarra or #SouthernHighlands, an unsolicited plug for a fantastic new food product: sustainable, ethically sourced smoked trout from secondfiddlesmokehouse.com.au/. Tried it for the first time yesterday - it was so delicious we ended up eating the lot and I’ve already ordered more.
    Pricier than Tas smoked salmon (with all its environmental & other issues), and 100% worth it.
