About this Event
WOLLONGONG OVER 30s, IT’S TIME TO REUNITE 🦩
Australia's biggest over 30s day clubbing experience, Over 30s Do It Better, is coming to The Gong this October long weekend.
You're officially invited to relive the glory days of Wollongong nightlife as we take over The Illawarra Hotel for the ultimate Sunday session.
We couldn't think of a better place to bring everyone back together than the spot that gave us so many unforgettable nights and holds more memories than your camera roll.
Sticky floors, questionable dance moves and the best nights of your life... yeah, we’re going there. This time we're starting early, going big and getting you home before the babysitter starts texting.
HERE'S WHAT’S GOING DOWN:
🕺 A countdown of the Top 10 Club Anthems from Wollongong’s golden era 7-8PM
🎶 Massive throwback anthems from the 90s & 00s you grew up partying to and sing-a-long favourites you still know every word to. 3-7PM.
💃 Confetti, glow-up novelties & nostalgia soaked vibes
📸 The Flocktographers
🔥 Hundreds of over 30s dancing, reconnecting & reliving the good times
PLUS your first drink (beer, wine or basic spirits) is on the house when you arrive before 4pm.
It had to be here, the perfect Sunday session courtyard and a dance floor that remembers everything you forgot after those $2 drinks and $5 fuit tingle jugs.

FINALLY - THANK YOU!
Since launching in Melbourne this August, we've been blown away by your support for the Over 30s Do It Better movement.
Every message, every packed dance floor (and questionable dance move), every smiling face has confirmed what we already knew; life after 30 isn't boring... it's better.
And we keep hearing the same thing from you all: our over 30s parties are better. Here's why:
-We make sure you party in the BEST venues & boats in each city.
-We showcase & support the BEST local DJs, live acts & performers.
-We have the BEST ticket deals. (And yes… we often throw in a complimentary cocktail or drink too).
But this is bigger than just clubbing. It’s about experiences you actually want to be at: early finishes, the music you grew up with, great people, and memories that hit different once you’re past 30.
We’re not here to go global. We’re here to make sure Over 30s Do It Better right here in Australia and we're just getting started!
Thanks for all the love, the support and even those questionable dance moves .
Ben, Alison, James + Daz
Over 30s Do It Better... because of YOU!
