GREENCROSS VETS FAIRY MEADOW

"The Gong" is a coastal city in Australia, south of Sydney along the Grand Pacific Drive. Surfing beaches and rock pools line the coastline. Trails encircle the forests and rocky cliffs of Mt. Keira in the Illawarra mountain range, which frames the city. To the north, hang gliders launch from Bald Hill. South lie the Buddhist temple of Nan Tien and Lake Illawarra, a large lagoon with boating and fishing facilities.

A vibrant, multicultural city situated on one of Australia’s most picturesque coastlines, it’s an easy place to live. As Australia’s tenth largest city, its nearly 300,000 residents get the best of urban living and coastal relaxation just 80km from Sydney. The city enjoys a pleasant climate, averaging 25°C in summer and 17°C in winter. An adventurer and nature lovers dream, the Illawarra region has some of the most pristine beaches in Australia and a network of mountain walking trails that lead to waterfalls, wildlife and dazzling lookout points. Keeping healthy has rarely looked so good – with running tracks by the sea, bike trails through the mountains and clean Pacific waters to swim in.
