Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Helensburgh, Wollongong, NSW
My husband, Norm, and I are both retired and love to travel and meet new people. We also have a caravan which we use to travel to different places in Australia. Norm is a retired police officer and I previously worked as a customer service agent for an airline. I was born in Leeds, England and migrated to Australia 60 years ago, when I was 7 years old. We are planning to visit England with my 88 year old Dad, Ken, in approximately May this year and hope to stay there for about 6-8 weeks. Dad is keen to visit parts of England he hasn't been to before, as well as catching up with family and friends.

Helensburgh is a small town in New South Wales, and is known as the gateway between the cities of Sydney and Wollongong, as it is located roughly halfway between the two, one hour south of Sydney. It is surrounded by pristine bushland of the Royal National Park and Garawarra State Conservation Area.
It is only an 8 minute drive to the nearest beach at Stanwell Park, which is on the Great Pacific Drive. This is a spectacular scenic coastal drive taking you through lush rainforests in the Royal National Park, through many coastal villages, towns and beaches.
It is only a 5 minute drive to Bald Hill Lookout, an internationally renowned hang-gliding and paragliding site, with spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, the Illawarra Escarpment and the Sea Cliff Bridge.
