Lake Illawarra

Lake Illawarra is a large coastal lagoon located in the city of Wollongong about 100 km south of Sydney, New South Wales. The lake receives runoff from the Illawarra escarpment through Macquarie Rivulet and Mullet Creek, and has a narrow tidal entrance to the sea at Windang. It is shallow with an average depth of two to three metres. The reason is shallow is because of infilling by sand which has been eroded from the surrounding catchments.
