    A perfect road trip options from Sydney down towards the South Coast. This can be easily done in a day and makes it the perfect day trip from Sydney. So if you are wondering what to do in wollongong then we hope you enjoy this Wollongong Travel Guide.
    00:00 Grand Pacific Drive
    Less than an hour south of Sydney, Grand Pacific Drive is a scenic coastal drive over the iconic Sea Cliff Bridge.
    01:14 Berry NSW
    Berry is a country old town located in South Coast NSW, about 2 hours from Sydney. This town has amazing cafés and restaurants along the main street and plenty boutique retail shops that will peek your interest. We’ve been to Berry before on our Jervis Bay trip, we had breakfast at The Garden Cafe. However this time, we got the beef pie and sausage roll from Milkwood Bakery.
    7:11 Berry Donut Van
    One thing Berry is famous for is definitely the Berry Donut Van. This is a must try snack, quick and easy yet delicious! This van traveled all around Australia before deciding to make Berry their permanent home. Their freshly fried cinnamon donuts are worth it.
    09:27 Kiama Blowhole
    After Berry, we headed up towards Kiama to show you the famous Kiama Blowhole.
    10:30 Fo Guang Shan Nan Tien Temple
    Nan Tien temple is a Buddhist temple located in Berkeley, just 10 minutes away from Wollongong. This is the biggest Buddhist temple in the southern hemisphere. Their architecture and beautiful garden attracts many visitor and it is one of the major tourist attraction in the South Coast of NSW.
    And if you are hungry, they do have vegetarian food option at the temple.
    13:13 Two Smoking Barrels
    18:20 Wollongong Beach
    We tried American BBQ smoked meats from 2 Smoking Barrels in Wollongong. Then we walked around Wollongong CBD before finishing our road trip down at Wollongong City beach.
