Located approximately 5km north of Wollongong, the name Towradgi is believed to be a corruption of the aboriginal word ‘Kow-radgi’ which
means ‘guardian of the sacred stones’. On an early map it was seen to be called Towroger. Just east of Towradgi is Towradgi Point which its famous rock pool located at the tip of the point just near the entrance to Towradgi Creek and also close to an area known as Black Rocks. Towradgi Creek flows inland from Corrimal Beach. Lying just north of the pool and a short distance out to sea is the site of the famous 1880’s shipwreck ‘The Queen of Nations’. At low tide a darkish blur marks the spot and a plaque located at the point describes the story of the wreck. The Captain, Samuel Bache mistook the Mount Keira slag heap fires to be the light on Port Jackson’s South Head in Sydney and crashed the barque clipper on the 31st May, 1881.
Visitors flock to the point to see the expansive views of Wollongong and north to Corrimal, Bellambi Point, the Northern Escarpment and Sublime Point. Views can be had from the park to Knight’s Hill and the southern mountains. A bridge across the creek was 
rebuilt in 2006 and is used by cyclists and walkers on two designated paths. Towradgi Point also hosts a recreation and a park, a bike path which is part of the Wollongong to Thirroul Bike Track and a picnic area. A popular spot for surfing and swimming, there is a pleasant café, The Blue Moon Beach Café, just south of the point. Also just south of the point, an area on the beach is the site where George Bass and Matthew Flinders attempted a landing. A plaque commemorates the events that transpired, namely the ship, The Tom Thumb became filled with water when the sea took it out on the 21st March, 1796. They managed to bail it out and continue, having collected water en route from Towradgi Creek.
