Do you know Wollongong’s hidden history? Whether it’s your first time in the city of steel or you’re a local, we promise you’ll learn something new, step off the beaten track and leave feeling inspired.

We start our tour at the Flagstaff Point Lighthouse with an incredible view of both the sea and the city’s iconic Steelworks. From there, we follow a scenic route past Wollongong’s Old Courthouse and into the CBD. Over the two hours, we cover about 3km at a relaxed and comfortable pace. There are places to pause and sit down along the way, and plenty of time to reflect on what you’ve learned between stops.

From the nuns who made the perilous climb down the rocky cliff face to swim to the hotel heiresses who brought the city’s pub culture to life, there are inspiring and entertaining stories hiding around every corner.

We promise you'll leave feeling inspired by Wollongong’s remarkable and unexpected women's history, and you might even make a few new friends along the way!
