My Wollongong Weekender with Damien Leith

The Irish have called this country home since the first fleet arrived, and one of Australia’s best loved Paddy’s- Damien Leith, who won Australian Idol in 2006- calls the stunning coastal city of Wollongong home.

Damien takes Darren on a tour of his home-town as they discuss rock-pools, and Damien’s upcoming show- ‘Ireland Orchestrated’ where Damien will be joined on stage by a 28 piece orchestra, belting out classic Irish ballads and rousing Celtic tunes!

Damien takes Darren on a walk along Wollongong’s iconic waterfront boardwalk- the Blue Mile- before an idyllic swim at the ocean pool- ‘Gentlemen’s Pool’.

After working up an appetite, these two gents hit Diggie’s Cafe– an iconic waterfront cafe, overlooking Wollongong’s North Beach. Diners can choose from a seasonal, and seafood-heavy menu with signature dishes including salmon croquettes and a moreish fresh prawn roll.

Don’t miss Damien’s joyful show, with a stellar performance at the State Theatre on Sat, 31 May 2025 at 8:00 pm!
