		The coastal plain is widest in the south and narrowest in the north—to the north of Wollongong it becomes so narrow that the coastal road precariously hugs a cliffline and the Illawarra Railway must go through several tunnels to reach the Sydney metropolitan area.
		A large coastal saltwater lagoon called Lake Illawarra[?] is in the southern part of the city, separated from the Tasman Sea by a long sandy spit.
		Just to the north of the lake is Port Kembla[?], a natural harbour that has been considerably expanded by human-made excavation and reclamation works.

	Port Kembla - Early History : Port Kembla Port Corporation
		In 1883 the Mount Kembla Coal and Oil Company built a railway from Mount Kembla mine to the coast to ship its coal. There was no natural harbour and the company constructed a jetty just north of Red Point naming it Port Kembla.

		The Port Kembla Harbour Act was passed on 23 December 1898, thereby formally proclaiming the area as a port and setting aside an initial £200,000 for breakwater construction.
