Bulli Rock Pool, Bulli Beach
As apart of my ongoing quest to photograph 100 Ocean pools, today is number 2 on the list and also the one my dad took us to the most growing up. So this one holds a little more meaning.
For number 1 on the list see https://chasinglight.photo.blog/2021/10/28/pools-of-the-sea-bondi-icebergs-pool/
The beautiful Bulli Rock Pool in the heart of Wollongong on Farrell Rd, Bulli. Around 1 and half’s hours drive from the Sydney CBD.
With spectacular views of the surrounding Wollongong region and its headland. The pool at Bulli is definitely worth a visit.
It’s one of the more picturesque pools I’ve photographed and I think what makes it such a great spot is the surrounding headland that engulfs the town of Bulli.
With two pools, a main pool and one for kids. It’s a great spot for either a family day out like when I was a kid or just for some picture taking, it’s a great pool and area all round.
It’s also not as busy an area as the other parts of Wollongong to the north or south so you are probably a better chance of getting a carpark and a coffee too from some of the awesome cafes that are a short walk away.
It was probably a good 20 years between visits but I’m glad I made the early visit to the town of Wollongong and it’s pool in beautiful Bulli.
There are many great things about photography and taking pictures, one of them is definitely visiting some great places from your past and reminiscing with a camera in your hand.
Til next time!
