North Wollongong Hotel: Mega gallery takes a 20-year look back

It was, and still is a favourite with uni students and known locally as the North ‘Gong. If you went there in the nineties or noughties, maybe you were papped. CHECK OUR GALLERY.

The North Wollongong Hotel, or as it’s more commonly known the North Gong, has been a fixture of the south coast community for decades.

We took a look back through the archives and found some iconic 90’s and noughties shots of revellers enjoying a pint. See if you were spotted in our gallery below:
