You can boat (or gloat) in the Royal National Park, soar like a bird at Stanwell Park, drive along a stunning bridge arcing out over the ocean and eat yourself silly at all the hip eateries that have blossomed in Wollongong lately. Take time out to explore the Southern Hemisphere’s largest Buddhist temple and, finally, swap the “om” for an “ooh” at the Kiama Blowhole.
