Kiama
This charming town of Kiama is situated on the eastern coast of Australia, just an hour and a half south of Sydney, and when you visit you will experience the relaxing wonders of the country’s eastern shoreline. A lovely town where hustle and bustle just dont happen.
The name Kiama was given by the native aborigines and it means where the sea makes a noise. The name came from the Kiama Blowhole, a popular tourist attraction that makes an enormously loud sound when it whooshes.
The Blowhole has a “little brother” in the Little Blowhole too. It’s located just above the Blowhole so you can get a birds eye view of the force of the water. It’s almost unbelievable when you see (and hear!) the Blowhole shoot water up more than two stories into the air. Watching it you can be tempted to try to get closer but dont – the force can pull you into the plume which would have a somewhat deadly effect.
There is a gorgeous harbor where you’ll be able to rent a boat and go fishing for numerous types of fish like yellow fin tuna, marlin, and snapper. Kiama is, in fact, a harbor hamlet with thick trees and hills that surround the quaint downtown area.
The Pilots Cottage Museum has a wonderful history of the town and surrounding area.
