Towradgi (/taʊərædʒi/) is a small beach-side suburb approximately 5 km (3.1 mi) north of Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia.
The captain, Samuel Bache, who, in his drunken state, thought the Mount Keira coal mine slag heap fires to be the light on Port Jackson's South Head in Sydney, crashed the barque clipper vessel on 31 May 1881.
The bridge across the creek was remade in 2006 and is used by cyclists and walkers; here the Wollongong to Thirroul Bike Track is split into two designated paths.
South of the point on the beach is the site where George Bass and Matthew Flinders, with their helper Martin, attempted to land.
On 26 March 1796, just south of Towradgi Point, George Bass and Matthew Flinders, along with their young helper Martin made an attempted landing on the coast.
The suburb is known for its beach and southern proximity to Wollongong’s city centre, providing a mix of residential areas and natural beauty.
Today, Towradgi is a popular beachside suburb, in proximity to the larger urban centres of Wollongong and the Illawarra region.
