PROJECT 52 - ILLAWARRA COAST

'Project 52' this week is 'I'...

This was a bit of a tough one, as I am trying to get OUT of the Sydney Metro area... AND AS most of the 'I's were of considerable distance, so I became 'creative'...

Illawarra, Industry, Iron - it had to be, Port Kembla !!!! A great day out with my mate Mark!

(We trundled further down the Illawarra and these will come later in the weekend/during the week...)

The land was called 'Illawarra Farm'. In 1883 a port was opened to ship coal brought from the mine at Mount Kembla. Because of its association with the jetty serving the Mount Kembla mine, the area previously called Red Point became known as Port Kembla. The earliest reference to this name seems to have been in 1892.

Hoo roo for now...
