Of the coastal resorts south of Sydney, Kiama, located 90 minutes south of Sydney, is probably the most attractive on the South Coast. It is characterised by dramatic rocky coastline, sandy beaches and an attractive harbour. The hinterland behind the town is dominated by lush green dairy pastures, and rolling hills which were once clad in dense subtropical forests.
A small resort and fishing town, Kiama is famous for its star attraction, the Blowhole. Stemming from a natural fault in the cliffs, the blowhole explodes into a water spout when a wave hits with sufficient force. The name Kiama is derived from the Aboriginal word meaning 'where the sea makes a noise', a reference to the towns Blowhole.
Close to the blowhole is the 15-metre lighthouse, opened on George Bass Point in the late 1800's after a high death toll had occurred on the rocky coastline. It was changed to electricity in 1969 that extends its beams to a distance of 27 km. Once kept by a lighthouse keeper it has long been automated.Photos
