The beaches of the Illawarra are one of its most beautiful features. They have long been a place of recreation for local residents and visitors.
Wollongong’s new Surf, Sun and Sand exhibition celebrates decades of people enjoying our coast and includes pictures of Surf Life Saving activities, children playing, family picnics and beach wear, from neck-to-knee costumes to bikinis.
The exhibition can be viewed on Level 1, Wollongong City Library from December 12 until February 25 and online.
