Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia
Wollongong is a city in the Illawarra region of New South Wales. Heading south, Wollongong starts where Sydney finishes. It is the third largest city in the state behind Sydney and Newcastle and is thinly wedged on a coastal plain between an escarpment and the Pacific Ocean.
Geography defines Wollongong, as the city is never more than roughly six kilometers at its widest but stretches over forty kilometers from South to North. Its growth was limited by mountains, which are not so much high as steep, and the sea, Wollongong has grown to include a whole chain of coastal towns, from Dapto and Port Kembla in the south to Bulli, Austinmer, and even up to Stanwell Park in the north. Continuous development has recently stretched the urban area along the coast as far as Kiama in the distant south but those areas are serviced by the growing centre of Shellharbour.
Its modern origins are in coal mining and steel production, industries which persist, notably the BlueScope steel facility at Port Kembla to the south. A dedicated port exists for the transport of materials whereas private craft and fishing boats use a separate facility nearer the city centre in Belmore Basin. New industries, such as financial services, information technology, tourism and education are fast becoming trademarks of the city. Wollongong people are proud of the employment and heavy industry in the area, and choose to be more than just a outer commuter suburb for Sydney.
The University of Wollongong is popular with local, other Australian and international students. Due to post war migration involving heavy industry, Wollongong also includes a large Mediterranean, Indian and Asian population which has left its mark on the city and means there is a great range of food and entertainment options. There are many interesting and beautiful locations within easy reach. The immediate area possesses some fine, often uncrowded beaches and reasonable surfing.

Crown Street : Wollongong - (16.07.2016)
Crown Street is the traditional main thoroughfare through the Wollongong CBD. Also, I apologize for the lack of audio in the beginning of the video, but I had to remove an audio track as it infringed copyright (and the video was unavailable in every country, as a result). The song was This Is What You Came For by Calvin Harris & Rihanna.

Black 5 at Horsley
Steam Dreams charter train from London to Swanage, hauled by a Black 5 steam loco. Seen passing through Horsley station on 5 October 2017.
The modern railway did its very best to get in the way! Leading to some hurried changes of position to grab video as best as could be done. Sounded great, though.
