 Walkabout - Thirroul
Thirroul has long been a beach resort although its proximity to industrialised Wollongong meant that it was largely ignored until the arrival of the electric train service in 1987.
Thirroul's greatest claim to historical fame was the residence, from May to August 1922, of the novelist D.H. Lawrence at 3 Craig St. This pleasant house, a Californian-style bungalow with very strong Australian Federation overtones, is still named 'Wyewurk'.
Thirroul's other dubious claim to fame is that the famous twentieth-century Australian painter Brett Whiteley died at the Oral Eagle Motel (now the Thirroul Beach Motel) in 1992.

 Thirroul Bowling Club History
Thirroul bowlers gather in front of their old clubhouse prior to demolition in 2003
A drink and lawn bowls traditionally have gone hand in hand and the Thirroul bowlers are no different following that protocol, first adjourning to a tin shed to sink a few with mates, until their new weatherboard clubhouse, comprising of an unlicensed bar, greenkeepers residence, change rooms and office, was completed in 1933.
Like Thirroul Bowling Club's original 1933 rooms, the present 1961 club has reached its use-by date and will be replaced with modern premises again "reaping today the benefits of our pioneers".

 SAVE THIRROUL BOWLING CLUB - AT ANY PRICE - WHAT ABOUT OVERDEVELOPMENT PRESSURES?
"Thirroul lost the RSL Club in the 1980's and despite a succession of land sell offs for residential developments, the Leagues Club was ultimately also forced to close," commented Cr Christian, "now we see the Bowling Club in a similar situation as the Leagues Club, trying to redevelop land in order to survive."
Cr Christian confirmed that she had been supportive of rezoning/redevelopment of some of the Bowling Club site for residential development, but it was a question of scale and density being much greater than the usual for 2B medium density sites.
There have been claims that a scarcity of suitably zoned medium density land in Thirroul is affecting availability and affordability of residential properties in the area.
