Oh No! another tourist Enroute!!!!!!!

[NTEL]

Hello chaps, I'll be popping over to Wollongong for Christmas and New year to see the Ausi relos. First time there for us.

Can you suggest any must see sights within say a 300 mile radius, automotive or not? Hoping to catch up with fellow PHer TVR Lodge in Sydney / Newcastle for a beer or two. (Wondered why I hadn't seen him at the PH meets recently )

Christmas Eve, Christmas day, Boxing Day, and New Years Eve are sorted and not going home until 17th of Jan so lots of gaps to fill.

Cheers

Dave
