My thoughts:

- Change the title to something more meaningful, at the moment it is
"Selection"
- Check your grammar, it makes all the difference between a professional
page and a hack (yes, people DO notice those little things)
- Please explain the graphical links at the top - one was an animation of a
road that went to links, the middle one was a pretty phone number (which I
would assume is for THEGONG - oh I get it, a slow banner ad) and went to a
software place and the other I didn't bother with
- The page loaded quite fast and smoothly
- Other than that, I'd centre the first page and tell the world a little
more about  Illawarra - where is it? what's the point in going there? You
know - touristy stuff
- Your link to whatson.html doesn't work

Overall, looks great
