🇦🇺 Wollongong Foraging & Fishing Adventure (Car-Free!) | 2D1N Itiner

Just tried a 2-day car-free trip to Wollongong for sea urchin foraging + fishing—smooth as butter (even without wheels)! 🚆🎣 🚆 Transport Sydney → Wollongong: Take T4 train (~$7, 1.5hrs, hourly departures). Uber to Red Sands Beach: ~$50 (30min). Walking: Key for short distances (e.g., hotel → fishing charter). 🌊 Day 1: Foraging at Red Sands Beach 📍 Red Sands Beach (Uber from Wollongong CBD) Right side of beach: Easier entry for snorkeling/foraging. What we found: Loads of sea urchins, small fish, and even a harmless shark! (Note: Avoid octopus hunting—it’s illegal during tidal changes!) ⚠️ No facilities: Change at your hotel beforehand! 🎣 Day 2: Sunrise Fishing Charter 📍 Pro Perch Fishing Charters (15min walk from CBD) 6AM departure: Gear provided—caught heaps of fish! Bonus: Whale sightings 🐋 + pelicans begging for scraps. Ends at 12:30PM: Fresh seafood lunch before heading back to Sydney. 🏨 Accommodation Tip Stay central in Wollongong (easy access to transport/beaches). #SydneyLife #Foraging #Wollongong #Fishing
