Wicked Women of Wollongong Walking Tour

This is the story of Wollongong, told through the women who shaped it. We begin by the sea, where nuns once made the perilous climb down a rocky cliff face to swim, before moving through the city streets to uncover the women who built, fought for, and reimagined this place. From hotel heiresses to athletes who broke barriers on the field, you’ll meet women who made space for themselves and for others in every corner of the city. We’ll wander through art spaces, landmarks, and hidden laneways. Along the way, you’ll hear stories of courage, creativity, and community that reveal how Wollongong’s history has always been shaped by women. You might think you know Wollongong, but you’ve never seen it like this. Come ready to see the city differently, and to carry these stories with you long after the walk ends.
