Bald Hill

Encyclopedia : B : BA : BAL : Bald Hill

Stanwell Park and its beach as seen from Bald Hill looking south towards the Sea Cliff Bridge and Wollongong.

Bald Hill is arguably Wollongong's most well known and most popular lookout. Not only are the views unsurpassed, the area is also internationally known as a major hang gliding centre. It was on the beach below Bald Hill that Lawrence Hargrave, an Australian pioneer of flight, experimented with box kites in the early part of the 20th century. A memorial cairn dedicated to him has been erected at the peak of the hill.

From Bald Hill you have a clear view of Stanwell Park to the South, and the Pacific Ocean to the East.
