Thirroul

Novelist DH Lawrence lived in this beach suburb

A coastal northern Wollongong suburb with golden beaches, parks and recreation areas.

It’s a desirable suburb that is safe, clean and green, attracting families with about 80 per cent of homes owned.

It is said that the word ‘Thirroul’ comes from a Wodi Wodi Aboriginal word, 'thurrural', meaning 'the valley of the cabbage tree palms' or 'throon' meaning 'bush leech'.

Well-known novelist DH Lawrence lived here for some time writing about the coastline he admired as well as his Australian novel Kangaroo.

The 2020 estimated resident population of Bulli is over 6000 and the suburb is bounded by the locality of Austinmer and Bulli, the sea and the Illawarra escarpment.

Anita's Theatre, several shops and cafes draw locals and visitors alike to this quaint coastal town.

There are many boutique shops and trendy restaurants to enjoy and it’s also near to the popular walking track/cycleway. Within easy commuting distance to Sydney as well as close proximity to the beach means that properties are in demand.
