Wongawilli, New South Wales
Wongawilli is a southern suburb of Wollongong, Australia at the foot hills of the Illawarra escarpment. The word 'Wonga' is a native aboriginal word meaning native pigeon.〔(Wongawilli History, Wollongong Library, 2011 )〕
It contains a mixture of small rural properties and family homes. It has a NSW Rural Fire Service station and a small community hall where the Wongawilli colonial dance club meets regularly.〔(Wongawilli Colonial Dance Club )〕 The community has had a long history with coal mining, with the Wongawilli colliery opening in 1916 by the Hoskins Brothers,〔(Mining in New South Wales )〕 and later being taken over by BHP Billiton.〔(Wongawilli Collery )〕 Since this time the mine has expanded and has had multiple owners, and is currently owned and operated by the Indian company Gujarat NRE.〔(Gujarat NRE )〕
