More Wollongong
January 6th, 2020 , 20:25
The weather was cloudy and meant to be raining so we decided to do indoor stuff. The idea was to do some final shopping and go to the Science Space. We walked to the town shopping centre and had a look around at a few things and then planned the walk out to the Science Space.
The weather was nicer than we expected (still very dull and cloudy, but today we could see the mountains!) so on the way out we came across a detour into a small annex of the Botanical Gardens so we decided to take it. It had a short boardwalk over a saltwater creek and mangroves before paralleling the beach for just over a kilometre. Managed to spot a few birds and quite a few lizards scurrying about. From there we popped onto the beach for a few metres before turning back inland and back to the Science Space which was located in Wollongong University’s Innovation Park.
We didn’t do much in the Science Space as it was targetted at the much younger age range (K: I think they have stuff on for the school holidays so it’s aimed for those during the summer.) We then took the free loop bus back into town and the harbour. (K: Yep they have free buses!) We stopped for a nice three course lunch overlooking the harbour (K: sat right at the window).
After lunch we carried on back to the hotel where we tried to get everything into our bags in preparation for heading back to Sydney tomorrow and our last days in Australia.
