Wollongong Harbour Precinct, Heritage harbor in Wollongong, Australia.
The harbor features Belmore Basin, Brighton Beach, Flagstaff Hill, and Signal Hill along the New South Wales coastline at coordinates -34.421, 150.908.
Governor Bourke commissioned Captain George Barney to design the harbor in 1837, leading to construction by convict labor and completion in 1844.
The Dharawal people utilized this natural bay for over 20,000 years, leaving archaeological evidence through extensive middens along the coastline.
The harbor maintains a commercial fishing fleet, Fisherman's Co-op, nearby beaches for swimming, and multiple walking paths connecting different sections.
In 1881, the British clipper Queen of Nations wrecked near the harbor, resulting in the loss of thousands of bottles of Cognac to local looters.
