Wilson's Kanahooka, Australia

Kanahooka's a nice little suburb of Wollongong, just over an hour south of Sydney, on the shores of, I think, Lake Illawawarra.

I'm sure Wilso would be happy to tell more - I've only driven through it once, on a mission for chocolate (couldn't find any at his local shops ) while travelling to Kiama, a bit further south. Saw the turn-off, decided to take it, couldn't find chocolate, didn't know where Wilso lived, got back in car and kept right on driving!

Wilso doesn't seem to be around just now.
A trawl of the Anzwers search engine retrieves a bit more:

Here's the Webwombat search:

GoEureka didn't retrieve anything much.

Not much more to tell than Margo just did. I can see Lake Illawarra from my back yard (and a bit of it from the front yard). When they're running it's got the best prawns in the world.

Kanahooka basically consists of a small point jutting into the western shore of the lake.

I'll see what else I can find out. Doesn't take much imagination to realise the name is Aboriginal in origin.

Kanahooka was named after Kana (King) Hooka, an Aboriginal chief. Kana Hooka was head of the Five Islanders, who were based near Hooka Creek at what is now Berkeley. The Aborigines referred to Kanahooka as "Kullillah", meaning a native meeting place.

Not a lot on the web about Kanahooka. It's not a very big place. So small in fact that a letter sent to my address in Dapto will also get here!

Couldn't find any chocolate Margo? How's that possible. Was you looking for something special.

Wilson and Margo, the information is enticing and I loved the photos of the sail boats.

I enjoy hearing about places off the beaten track, the history of the towns and the people who live there. Its a wonderful break from the worries of the world.

Thanks for giving us a peaceful moment and a yen for chocolate.

Timing, Wilso, timing!


Easter Sunday morning. Only one shop open. Not selling chocolates of any sort.

Aaaerrrgggghhh!!!

Surely the service stations were open. There's one at the end of Fowlers Road at the turn back onto the Princes Hwy. I didn't think it ever closed.

BBB, not exactly a "city" this.
