Primbee is a small suburb of Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. It is located on the northern end of the Windang Peninsula separating Lake Illawarra and the Pacific Ocean. Primbee is close to Windang and Warrawong in the Illawarra. It was originally referred to as “The Lake Suburb” until formally being named as Primbee.
