About Corrimal
Where to stay in Corrimal
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Corrimal Park Mall and the shops along the Princes Highway set the shape of a stay here, with the park itself giving the centre a green middle that the highway frontage does not. Corrimal itself has few rooms to offer. Most visitors book in Wollongong and drive the short way north, which keeps dinner and transport within reach while leaving Corrimal to the daytime.
The western foothills are quieter again.
About Corrimal
What are the main landmarks in Corrimal?
The Green Frog does the work here. An old locomotive stands outside the shopping centres of Corrimal, painted into the suburb's welcome signs, having run on the Bulli Colliery Line to Bellambi Haven from 1909 to 1967. Lederer Corrimal and Corrimal Park Mall flank the park on the main thoroughfare.
West of them a lawn bowls club sits below the bushland edge.
What is the history of Corrimal?
Coal explains the line. The Green Frog worked the Bulli Colliery Line down to Bellambi Haven from 1909 to 1967, and when that traffic ended the engine stayed on in Corrimal as a fixture outside the shops rather than being taken away. Its welcome signs kept it too.
What grew up around that industrial thread is the strip of shops on the Princes Highway that gives Corrimal its centre.
Where is Corrimal?
Corrimal lies north of Wollongong on the Princes Highway, its western foothills rising into bushland above the shops.
