Wollongong Harbour

Wollongong Harbour

Wollongong Harbour was once the focal point of the town.  Prior to the development of Belmore Basin in 1837-1844, the sheltered cove formed by Flagstaff Hill provide relatively safe anchorage not available elsewhere. 

Over the years there have been many changes to the area and there are current proposals to further develop the area.
