About The Bulli & Clifton Times

THE Bulli & Clifton Times was established online in 2012.

The blog style news, information and opinion site was launched in February 2012 as a not-for-profit initiative, which we hope will gain the support of contributors living and working in the stretch of coast line from Wollongong, north to the Royal National Park. The Bulli & Clifton Times welcomes contributions for inclusion.

With more than 30 years of experience as a newspaper journalist, I will be aiming at bringing readers a fair, interesting and unbiased look at news and information in the northern districts of the Illawarra.

The Times also welcomes voluntary correspondents to contribute photos, news and information from suburbs and villages of Illawarra’s north.

If you have a story, media release, news or images for inclusion in The Bulli Times (with acknowledgement) email thebullitimes@gmail.com or contact us below.
