Listen to the song: (

Another great example of Australian Country music by John Williamson (

He’s just a beachcomber from Wollongong,
A metal detector from Wollongong
Gold watch, a diamond ring,
Sometimes he doesn’t find a thing.
He’s just a beachcomber from Wollongong
All alone around Wollongong
The old Codger sure looks strange
Hopin’ to find some Kembla Grange
Around Wollongong…..Wollongong.
He’s just a beachcomber from Wollongong
Headphones around Wollongong
He doesn’t care about Rips and Curls
He doesn’t notice the pretty girls
Around Wollongong, around Wollongong.
He’s just a beachcomber from Wollongong
An old Steeler from Wollongong
He’s part of the scene like a painted post,
Like a seagull along the leisure coast
He’s just a beachcomber from Wollongong,
Like a Dapto dog around Wollongong.
He doesn’t stop to smell a rose
Since the sandfly went up his nose,
Up his nose......
The given co-ords are on the headland looking towards the beach along Marine Parade in Wollongong where the surf rolls in with the chimneys and industrial area of Port Kembla Steel works in the background.
