The were also model planes and Para gliding along Hill 60 with wind surfers, swimmers and fishermen on the beach and out in the ocean. If Port Kembla was out of the control of Wollongong City Council it would develop into a major tourist attraction.
I was exhausted by the variety of activities, clean beaches , great bathers parvillion and even had an indoor heated pool when I had lunch at the RSL. The new shops in Port Kembla were intreaguing and I want to bring my friends back to this sensational location.
