We Love The Gong

Winter is the perfect excuse to lie in bed all day but we have jumped on the counter attack to give you a long list of reasons to leave your bed this winter and enjoy the great outdoors…or indoors in some instances.

Enjoy!

1. The Science Centre & Planetarium has some great experiments, interactive displays and planetarium. There is plenty of things to do for the kids, and the big kid within!
2. Sleep well after a day at Hangdog Climbing Gym. Scale the walls, race your friends or challenge yourself on a range of walls that vary in difficulty. A great one for those cold rainy days!
3. Head along the Grand Pacific Drive and experience some of the most spectacular sights the Australian coastline has to offer thanks to the team at Royal Coast Walks.
4. Take the family to enjoy a feast at Bon Aroma Pizza. Last year the family owned and operated Bulli Restaurant was named as Australia’s best Pizza Restaurant. Once you taste their food, you will know why!
5. Grab yourself a copy of We Love the Gong: EAT from one of our Information Centres or participating restaurants and map yourself a food trail of the Gong to try – OR – find an excuse to invite your friends and family over and whip up one of the delicious recipes yourself.
6. Treat yourself to one of the amazing packages available at L’amour Day Spa – the perfect way to revitalise and add vitality back into the dry wind blown skin!
7. Enjoy the views, food and locally brewed beer of the Illawarra Brewing Company. Their award winning drop, which is locally brewed in Wollongong, is a treat not to be missed.
