This lighthouse is also known as Flagstaff Hill Lighthouse as that is where it is located.
This lighthouse assists shipping into into the industrial Port Kembla and is still active.
Construction of this lighthouse was completed in 1936.
It has sweeping views of the local beaches with Port Kembla in the background.

Spent a great time around the lighthouse recently when the clouds and sunlight were amazing. See photos as they look fantastic. Great busy place to visit when its a sunny day. The whole area is where I always have a smile. Love this area.

Love the Wollongong Lighthouse as the view is stunning. It is a great area to go and relax. We enjoy walking around the area surrounding the lighthouse if in Wollongong for the day. The Wollongong area has a lot to offer.

If you want to see a beautiful sunrise then Flagstaff Hill light house is the place. It doesn't matter what type of day it is going to be the colors are fantastic. If you are into photos then try this spot. The light house is also a beautiful back drop for wedding photos etc.

The coastal walk from north of the lighthouse is a must for visitors to this lighthouse. There are plenty of quintessential coastal sceneries of coastal NSW- surf beaches, rock formation, rock pools, parks by the beach and ... yes, seagulls.

Nice short drive and weekend get away. Surprisingly, despite the freezing weather that weekend was very busy. We enjoyed the grilled salmon and barra at Lavendi and the trip to the lighthouse.

And proposed to my lady at the lighthouse! Great spot, watching the magic of the ocean, skydivers to the north and a plane flying acrobatics right above us. Great spot and a good walk. Oh, and she said yes

The large white lighthouse is a great place to visit when you come to the Gong'. I got married there over 22 years ago and years later... I divorced him...YET I still visit, it's that good. Even a bad marriage won't put me off! hahaha!

Stop opposite Levendi at the harbour. 10 minute walk at most from there.
