Wollongong is famous for 1958, 1972, 1981 and 1997 when absolutely nothing happened.

Oddly it sounds familiar to me Bruce I think we had a programme on TV about the Hindu Temple there. I may be wrong obviously but it sounds like the same place.

Indeed it is:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wollongong

It has two cathedrals, churches of many denominations and the Nan Tien Temple, the largest Buddhist temple in the southern hemisphere.

Thank you yes that's the one the TV programme went all round and inside it was fascinating. Wonderful building I'd visit if it was nearer
