While this will always be a subjective determination, I do not think that this article is correct in saying that "Warrawong is known to locals as the upper-class part of the Wollongong area."

I have lived in Wollongong all of my life and in justifying my opinion I would point out that Warrawong is next to Port Kembla, the rusting industrial heart of the city. Many of its houses were built for the workers in the BHP steel works and these are mostly small fibro cottages. The area is not considered wealthy or exclusive. --Mckinlayr 10:11, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
