Australia
The Gong
Description
Visit 'The Gong', home to Aunty Jack and the Port Kembla Steelworks, both icons to the post-boomer generation of Aussies. It was a simpler world back then with irreverant humour and school trips to the most dangerous workplaces.
Great fun.
Loiter over Wollongong and check out the steelworks.
Then travel up one what is probably the most beautiful parts of Australia's east coast to Sydney's eastern suburbs. At Bondi Beach you will see lots of Poms and Kiwis mixing it up with the Great Whites.
Just when you think it couldn't get any better, turn into Sydney Harbour and pass the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
