Perfect for lecturers, senior lecturers or associate professors but not for professors. Professors generally choose further north. Not a gorgeous place, however you can make it work with beer goggles.

By name, a cross between cringe and gorilla. By place, there's little to no reason to visit unless you live there.

Many professionals live in this area, including professional unprofessionals who encroach on people attempting a leisurely walk. I expect to be able to safely walk through a suburb without being honked at, yelled at or whistled at. For women, take someone with you (a male if possible) when you're walking anywhere through Wollongong.

The other issue are some fermented elderly retirees who form incontinence pad social gangs to oppress newcomers. They can spread all sorts of false rumours.

Wollongong has become the ultimate lamentable unmasterpiece. The parking meters wait expectantly in the midst of the night, like hookers waiting for their timed cash. The parking hookers were seemingly installed as diabolical punishment against residents who pay exorbitant rates and support local retail.

Resident-funded parking meters charging residents money for parking. Giving residents the cane for coming back again.

A close walk to the beach and CBD.
