Top Illawarra viewpoints and lookouts: Bald Hill, Sea Cliff Bridge & more

7 June 2018

Last Updated on 5 June 2022

Nestled between a lush escarpment and golden beaches from Sydney’s Royal National Park to NSW’s pristine South Coast, the Illawarra region is positively overflowing with natural beauty. Without even a fraction of the tourist popularity of nearby Sydney, though, many people completely overlook this rich and scenic area in favour of more well-known city activities. While there are inarguably hundreds of amazing things to do in Australia’s biggest city, grab the opportunity to explore beyond Bondi Beach and the Opera House— jump on a train, cruise an hour south, and dive into one of the most underrated regions in NSW. Here are some of my very favourite viewpoints in and around Wollongong.

What's in this guide

  • Mt Keira Summit Park

Sea Cliff Bridge Lookout

An engineering feat as much as a visual spectacle, Sea Cliff Bridge is one of only 7 off-shore parallel-to-coast bridges in the world, and is also one of the Illawarra’s most impressive landmarks, winding between Clifton and Coalcliff on the scenic Lawrence Hargrave Drive. And, just 30 minutes from Wollongong and less than an hour from the city, it’s an easy morning trip. For the best views, I recommend parking on the south side of the bridge and climbing up into the hills (along a very easily-missed trail) for an aerial view of this beauty.

Read more about finding the trail in this post: FINDING THE SECRET LOOKOUT ABOVE SEA CLIFF BRIDGE

Mt Keira Lookout

Mt Keira Summit Park

Wollongong’s skyline is entirely dominated by a thickly forested escarpment, and one of the best spots to get on top and enjoy views over the region and its many beaches is Mt Keira. Rising just under 500m, it’s not a long or challenging hike to reach the top, but it’s often difficult to follow the trail (especially as it ascends straight up a dry waterfall bed). Still, it’s one of my very favourite walks in the area, departing from the intersection of Robsons Road and Northfields Avenue behind the University. For the less climbing-inclined, Mt Keira Lookout is also easily accessible via car, and a more mellow 5km Ring Track around the summit still offers wonderful views. Bring a picnic to enjoy in the newly improved Summit Park!

Sublime Point

About 20 minutes north of Wollongong in the beachside suburb Austinmer, Sublime Point is another popular lookout over the Illawarra coastline. There’s a short but strenuous hike leading to the viewpoint from Foothills Road, but it’s also possible to drive straight to the top if you’re short on time (or if you don’t feel like breaking a sweat). Save this one for an especially clear day, as any fog and clouds will get trapped between the escarpment and the ocean, obscuring what truly is one of the best views in the area.

Read more about the hike: STAIR-STEPPING UP TO SUBLIME POINT

Mt Kembla Lookout

Situated just southwest of Wollongong near Unanderra (and the famous Nan Tien Buddhist Temple), Mt Kembla rises even higher out of the escarpment than nearby Mt Keira. It also offers a slightly different view, looking out over the densely forested Illawarra Escarpment State Conservation Area and Lake Illawarra. Even though there are powerlines running directly across your line of sight, this is still a beautiful spot, and also a popular starting point for several of the short day-hikes around Mt Kembla, including the 6km Ring Track. Navigate straight to this point using Google Maps, but beware of the pothole-dotted road and the surprisingly narrow lanes.

Mt Mitchell Lookout

Named for the indigenous people who originally inhabited this stunning stretch of coastline, Wodi Wodi Track offers spectacular views, the best of which are accessible via a moderately short hike up to Mt Mitchell Lookout. It’s often difficult to see the start of the trail just north of Coalcliff on Lawrence Hargrave Drive (and it’s even more challenging to squeeze your car into the minuscule parking area), but you’ll be well-rewarded if you do. Not only is this one of my all-time favourite views, but it’s a lovely hike that will leave you wanting more of the Illawarra and it’s unassuming beauty. Follow signs from the carpark for “Wodi Wodi Track”, but when the path forks, continue along the “Forest Walk route” for about 1km to reach this stunning viewpoint atop Mt Mitchell.

Looking out over Lake Illawarra and Mt Kembla

Robertson Knoll

For views of both Mt Kembla and Mt Keira, there’s no better spot than this little-known lookout about 3 minutes beyond Mt Keira Summit Park on Harry Graham Drive. The signage is incredibly poor, but you’ll see a small carpark on your left and a little path leading about 100m out to the fenced viewpoint. Just before the wooden boardwalk, veer right into the forest and continue out to the rocks for amazing, unobstructed views of Keira to your left and Lake Illawarra and Kembla to your right. The only thing that could make this spot any better? Hardly anyone knows about it, so it’s unlikely you’ll be joined by another person!

Bald Hill

Even over all the other gorgeous views, stunning beaches, and amazing hikes in the Illawarra, Bald Hill in Stanwell Tops is the first destination on my tour for out-of-towners, every time. On a clear day, the view is simply unrivalled, looking out over the scalloped coastline and the serpentine Sea Cliff Bridge in the distance. For $250, you can actually soar above this postcard view for half an hour on a tandem paraglide! To me, this point shows off the beauty of the region like nowhere else, and it’s absolutely no wonder, sitting on this grassy hill and looking down at the scenery below, why I’ve chosen to make Wollongong my home.

*Practical information

Getting to/around the Illawarra

Many of these lookouts and viewpoints are accessible via public transport from Sydney. The Illawarra/ South Coast train line runs down to Wollongong (and beyond), including stops near Sea Cliff Bridge in Coalcliff, Bald Hill in Stanwell Tops, Mt Keira in North Wollongong, and Sublime Point in Austinmer. Still, the best way to explore this region and get off the beaten path is to drive. You could tackle many of these spots in a single day, but you’ll probably need 2 days to tick everything off, including the bush walks.

Where to stay in the Illawarra

  • Coledale Camping Reserve is definitely the best campsite in the region, located right on the beach near Sea Cliff Bridge.
  • Bulli Beach Tourist Park is only about 20m from the beach, but it’s located right next to a cemetery, so it’s not my first choice.
  • Keiraleagh House has reasonably priced dorm beds in central Wollongong.
  • Novotel Wollongong offers more upscale accommodation right on North Beach, inarguably the nicest part of Wollongong.

Hey, I'm Brooke and I'm obsessed with getting off the beaten path, exploring backcountry gems & travelling beyond the ordinary! I left Australia 5 years ago after finishing a PhD in Biomechanics & have been travelling the world full-time ever since (joined by my life/climbing partner, James). Whether it’s road-tripping through Mexico, climbing alpine peaks in the Andes, scuba diving in the Red Sea, or tackling epic via ferrata in the Dolomites, I hope this blog will inspire your future adventures & help you find wonder in every corner of the globe. xx bb

    Can you advise where:
    View Corner, Illawarra, Sydney may be located?
    I have a postcard picture in my Grandad’s scrapbook compiled 120 years ago and would love to replicate the photo today
    Hopefully you can shed some light on its location
    Thanks

      Hi Carol, I actually don’t know off the top of my head where that might be… does the photo look similar to any of the viewpoints described in this post or totally different? Any notable landmarks we could use to help place it?

  • NICE MINI GUIDE 🇫🇷🌊✨

some of our favourite experiences from last month in this charming town on the French Riviera!

WHAT TO DO
☕️ stroll through Old Town: beautiful alleyways with charming shops + bars (pass by Palais du Justice, Cathédrale Sainte-Réparate de Nice, Église Sainte Rita for photos)
🏖️ Ruhl Plage: picturesque beach club with striped umbrellas + chairs (but the free beach immediately beside it works just as well for a quick dip!!)
🪴 Jardin Albert 1er: leafy park separating central Nice from the Old Town
📸 Colline du Château: elevated park on the headland with excellent views of the coastline
🚃 day trip to Eze + Monaco: both can be done in a single day with public transport or inexpensive Ubers!

WHERE TO EAT/DRINK
🧀 La Cave du Fromager: fondue/cheese restaurant located in a wine cellar in Old Nice, beautiful and amazing food!
🦆 La Route du Miam: intimate 6-table restaurant serving legendary duck— the menu is bascially 3 options, but the duck-fat potatoes are mind-blowing, the wine selection is excellent, and the owners are impossibly charismatic (expect to leave with multiple kisses)
🍨 Finoccio: local-fave ice creamery with endless flavours
☕️ La Claque: small cafe with excellent coffee, matcha, kombucha etc
🍷 La Treille Bar à Vin: natural wine + small plates with charming outdoor seating
🍸 Soho: trendy bar with a good value happy hour 5-8pm
  • paris on (fuji)film 🇫🇷🥐🧀✨

we’d originally planned to spend June climbing in the French + Swiss Alps… but after I had knee surgery at the end of April, we had to pivot to something a little more recovery-friendly.

so we changed our flights from Geneva to Paris and instead spent a couple weeks sipping cocktails, making croissants, wandering through charming galleries, catching up with some of our favourite humans, and racking up steps around the city in an effort to get me hiking-capable asap. 

not exactly the summits we’d planned, but time well-spent all the same 💛 #fujifilmx100vi

  • The famous bowing deer of Nara 🦌✨

The ancient city of Nara is home to around 1,300 sacred deer (believed to be messengers to the gods!) roaming freely around the parks and temples. They are SO cute & friendly, and feeding the deer in Nara was a top highlight of my 6 weeks in Japan 🥹

Tips for visiting the deer:
🦌 head to Nara Park & you’ll find deer everywhere near Todaiji Temple, Kasuga Taisha & Kofukuji. Look for shikadamari (deer meeting spots) & approach respectfully!
🍘 buy shika senbei (deer crackers) for ~¥200 from local vendors. Hold one up, bow & watch the deer bow back!
🚃 get here in ~45min from Kyoto or Osaka by train
🏯 this is a popular day trip, but I definitely recommend staying overnight in a traditional ryokan & eating at some of the amazing local restaurants
⏱️ the park is prettiest early in the morning or around sunset when it’s quieter, the light is soft & the deer are more relaxed

  • DOHA, QATAR 🇶🇦✨

Without the flashy excess of the UAE & Saudi, Doha offers a more authentic slice of the Arabian Gulf, where culture & tradition meet striking modern architecture, world-class art, and a glittering skyline. 

We loved our time in Doha and would highly recommend as a quick stopover next time you’re flying through the Middle East!

WHAT TO SEE
⭐️ Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos
⭐️ Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections
⭐️ Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography!)
⭐️ Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon
⭐️ Fish Market: the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen, worth a quick walk through while exploring Mina!
⭐️ Qanat Quartier: a rainbow-hued “Little Venice” with canals, bridges & plenty of great restaurants 
⭐️ Katara Cultural Village: a great place to discover local culture 

HOW MANY DAYS?
we spent 4 days in Doha, but you can see most of the city’s highlights in 2-3 days 

GETTING AROUND
Uber is the best way to get across the city to visit some of the farther places of interest

  • Standing on the rim of one of the largest active volcanoes in the world, with smoke billowing out of the crater right behind us 🌋🔥

Mt Aso National Park is one of Japan’s coolest hiking spots, but still seriously underrated! With craggy lava fields, steaming vents & surreal views in every direction, you can hike right up to the rim of Nakadake Crater (when it’s safe!) and we had this spot completely to ourselves 💃🏻

  • Pivoting away from all the Japan photos for a moment to share a sleeper hit from last year’s travels that didn’t make it onto the feed (because I’m perpetually behind on posting…) → Qatar!!

This small Middle Eastern country was never on my list, but while we were in the region for the 2nd half of last year, we decided to take advantage of the Qatar Airways stopover program (this isn’t sponsored, it’s just a really cool program 😅)

For no extra cost, we were able to build a 4-day stopover into our flights from Oman to Egypt, and we ended up having WAY more fun in Qatar than expected. You don’t need long to explore (you could cram most of the highlights into 2-3 days), but it’s guaranteed to impress!

I’ll share some of our favourite experiences from Doha tomorrow, but WOW, who knew!?

paris on (fuji)film 🇫🇷🥐🧀✨

we’d originally planned to spend June climbing in the French + Swiss Alps… but after I had knee surgery at the end of April, we had to pivot to something a little more recovery-friendly.

so we changed our flights from Geneva to Paris and instead spent a couple weeks sipping cocktails, making croissants, wandering through charming galleries, catching up with some of our favourite humans, and racking up steps around the city in an effort to get me hiking-capable asap. 

not exactly the summits we’d planned, but time well-spent all the same 💛 #fujifilmx100vi

The famous bowing deer of Nara 🦌✨ The ancient city of Nara is home to around 1,300 sacred deer (believed to be messengers to the gods!) roaming freely around the parks and temples. They are SO cute & friendly, and feeding the deer in Nara was a top highlight of my 6 weeks in Japan 🥹 Tips for visiting the deer: 🦌 head to Nara Park & you’ll find deer everywhere near Todaiji Temple, Kasuga Taisha & Kofukuji. Look for shikadamari (deer meeting spots) & approach respectfully! 🍘 buy shika senbei (deer crackers) for ~¥200 from local vendors. Hold one up, bow & watch the deer bow back! 🚃 get here in ~45min from Kyoto or Osaka by train 🏯 this is a popular day trip, but I definitely recommend staying overnight in a traditional ryokan & eating at some of the amazing local restaurants ⏱️ the park is prettiest early in the morning or around sunset when it’s quieter, the light is soft & the deer are more relaxed . . . . . #nara #naradeer #japan #japantravel #traveljapan #wheninjapan

DOHA, QATAR 🇶🇦✨

Without the flashy excess of the UAE & Saudi, Doha offers a more authentic slice of the Arabian Gulf, where culture & tradition meet striking modern architecture, world-class art, and a glittering skyline. 

We loved our time in Doha and would highly recommend as a quick stopover next time you’re flying through the Middle East!

WHAT TO SEE
⭐️ Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos
⭐️ Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections
⭐️ Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography!)
⭐️ Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon
⭐️ Fish Market: the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen, worth a quick walk through while exploring Mina!
⭐️ Qanat Quartier: a rainbow-hued “Little Venice” with canals, bridges & plenty of great restaurants 
⭐️ Katara Cultural Village: a great place to discover local culture 

HOW MANY DAYS?
we spent 4 days in Doha, but you can see most of the city’s highlights in 2-3 days 

GETTING AROUND
Uber is the best way to get across the city to visit some of the farther places of interest

DOHA, QATAR 🇶🇦✨

Without the flashy excess of the UAE & Saudi, Doha offers a more authentic slice of the Arabian Gulf, where culture & tradition meet striking modern architecture, world-class art, and a glittering skyline. 

We loved our time in Doha and would highly recommend as a quick stopover next time you’re flying through the Middle East!

WHAT TO SEE
⭐️ Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos
⭐️ Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections
⭐️ Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography!)
⭐️ Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon
⭐️ Fish Market: the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen, worth a quick walk through while exploring Mina!
⭐️ Qanat Quartier: a rainbow-hued “Little Venice” with canals, bridges & plenty of great restaurants 
⭐️ Katara Cultural Village: a great place to discover local culture
