Thirroul Suburb Overview

Thirroul is a northern seaside suburb of the city of Wollongong, Australia, with the name supposedly Aboriginal for “Valley of Cabbage Tree Palms”. Situated between Austinmer and Bulli, it is approximately 13 kilometres north of Wollongong, and 69 km south of Sydney. It lies between the Pacific Ocean and a section of the Illawarra escarpment known as Lady Fuller Park, adjacent to Bulli Pass Scenic Reserve.

It is a fairly old town by Australian standards. It was originally called Robbinsville and that name was decided upon at a meeting of ten men in George’s Whitford’s “big new House” in 1880. One suggestion for a name for the place was “Mudmire” but somehow Robbins comvinced the others to call the Town after himself. It only had a total population of 490 in 1891. Coal mining operations began at the start of the 20th Century and miners needed residences, though logging had been occurring before for some time. It has a lot of visible heritage.

The town’s major commercial area lies between an area just north of Bulli Pass, where the Princes Highway splits to form the Lawrence Hargrave Drive, to Thirroul Station, on the South Coast Line, and over the bridge and past the main centre and the Anita’s Theatre building, which underwent large-scale renovations in 2006/2007. Supermarkets include a BI-LO and Franklins. Thirroul is steadily growing in population, and many new shops are added regularly. Many cafes now exist in Thirroul’s main commercial area, adding to its popularity as a seaside holiday town.
