On Tuesday I took Simon to Wollongong to check out a few share accommodation locations he had found on the web. Since it was a beautiful day, with a strong offshore wind, we detoured to Stanwell Tops to enjoy the view we missed a few weeks before due to low clouds and rain.

A closer view of Wollongong, with the steel works on the left, and downtown about the middle of the image.
The new SeaCliff bridge between Stanwell Park (this end) and Coalcliff on the far end. This was built following the closure of the road along the base of the cliff. That road was closed due to rock falls onto the road, despite efforts to prevent it.
A coal or grain train heading to the coal loader at Wollongong or Port Kembla. That's Stanwell Park township below the rails.

From here we returned to the freeway to check out the accommodation in Wollongong, before returning for dinner at the Black Stump at Heathcote.
