Helensburgh Travel Guide

Wollongong

Best way to spend NYE. And about an hour and half away from Sydney 🙏
NYE: Reaching the waterfall requires going off the track and absailing down a small cliff. Probably the best place Ive seen in NSW so far
The Helensburgh station was closed in 1915 & is an integral part of Sydney's rail history. It's abb awesome area to explore and perhaps see some glow worms!
Abandoned in the early 1900's this old train station and tunnel was only rediscovered in 1995. #ontheroad #history

This hotel was a very disappointing experience overall. First of all, the cleanliness was extremely poor—the bedsheets were dirty, and the bathroom had an unpleasant smell. The staff was also rude and unprofessional; instead of helping with issues, they kept ignoring or delaying responses. The food ...
