Location
North Wollongong is the immediate northern coastal suburb of Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. North Wollongong residents used to refer to the northern area of Wollongong as well as North Wollongong by locals, despite the official suburb not including the northern apartment areas of Wollongong and North Beach, known as North Wollongong.

History
The suburb achieved tourist popularity in the 1920s, and many Norfolk Island Pines planted during that era still remain. A Bather’s Pavilion was opened in 1936. West of North Beach is a small strip of park along the cliff that runs between Cliff Road and the bike track. This is the location of Smiths Hill Fort with two remaining out of the three original cannons. It was completed in 1893 to fend off possible Russian attack. (wikipedia)
