What does the perfect escape look like?For some, it’s a golden sunrise oftumbling waves and the peaceful joy ofa morning surf or swim. Or perhaps it’swide open spaces, picture postcard vistasand a friendly hello from locals on coastalpaths; long shadows and short blacks,bustling cafes and boutique shopping.For others, it’s all about exploring nature’s wonders –meandering rivers and rolling green hills. Blowholes,rock pools and cascading waterfalls. Flying throughrainforests and splashing with adrenaline. Quiet countrylanes and relaxing villages. Deep breaths of fresh airalongside gasps of wonder.The artwork of local Aboriginal Elder, AuntyJodie Stewart, titled “On Country – Wherethe Mountains Meet the Sea,” has beenproudly incorporated throughout this guidein a digitised format.Destination Kiama and Kiama MunicipalCouncil extend thanks to Aunty Jodiefor sharing her artwork for use in this guide.But ultimately, it’s about memories. Making new oneswhile blissfully kissing goodbye to your everyday cares. This is Dharawal country — rich in history and burstingwith unique natural beauty. From the rivermouthtownships of Minnamurra and Gerroa to the relaxingbeachside vibes of Gerringong and Kiama’s award-winning coastal character and charm, our goldenshoreline fringes are spectacular and varied. Then, just minutes inland, the landscape makes way for dairy pastures that hug the idyllic village of Jamberoo before climbing into rainforest-clad foothills, where waterfalls cascade from the escarpment. At just 258 square kilometres, we’re one of the smallest regional areas in Australia – which is what makes our patchwork of stunning attractions, modern venues and world-class events so special. From the mountains to the sea, it’s a pocket-sized paradise and the ideal backdrop for you to explore and unwind. New memories are created with every visit.Once more, Yulunga— welcome toEnjoy your perfect escape!Yulunga- welcomekiama.com.au 5

kiama.com.au 9Much like the blowholes of the whales that migratealong our coast, the Kiama Blowhole is essentially onelarge vent, which, under pressure, will force a jet ofwater high into the air (up to 30 metres or eight storeyshigh in the right conditions!) each time it takes a ‘breath’.This unique landmark sits on a natural headland, visitedby Aboriginal tribes for centuries and given the name‘Khanterinte’. The first European to make a splash in thisarea was George Bass in 1797 — and some 228 yearslater this site is now a hive of activity — home to abustling harbour, cafes, ocean baths, walking tracks,historic Pilot’s Cottage, lighthouse and more.Stock up on maps, brochures, bookings and informationat Kiama Visitor Information Centre, just a 100m walkfrom the lighthouse and Kiama Blowhole. But wait, there’s more! Besides the main KiamaBlowhole (pictured above), there is also a second LittleBlowhole (pictured left) approximately 2km to thesouth — a short drive to Tingira Crescent or stroll alongthe Kiama Coast Walk. Did you know?The name ‘Kiama’ can be translated as“where the sea makes a noise”. The Little Blowhole is often active when its big sibling is not. Catch them on a good day, and they’ll really blow your mind! Are they coin operated?Only on 1 April! …These natural features rely on the right sea swell (not tides) to put on a good show. Let’s hope they’re feeling ‘swell’ during your visit.What hours are the Blowholes open?From 8am until — just kidding, they’re open all the time and are free to visit. Both of Kiama’s blowholes have accessible viewing platforms suitable for visitors with limited mobility.Funfacts

kiama.com.au 11timeOnce upon aTo fully understand the story of Kiama, it’s worth first exploring the echoes of the past.Ours is a rich and layered history, dotted with milestones that make us what we are today. An abundant landFor thousands of years, Kiama was both a destinationand crossroads for the nomadic Wodi Wodi people ofthe Dharawal Nation. They travelled regularly with theseasons, making use of this region’s seasonal flora andfauna, freshwater fish and seafood. Evidence of the lattercan still be seen in traditional middens at MinnamurraRiver mouth.New industries, new growthIt would not be until the turn of the 19th century thatEuropeans first set foot in these parts, and within decadesthe ancient cedar forests were cut and shipped out tohelp build a growing nation. Quartz mining would followlater in the 1800s, with Kiama a rich source of basalt inthe building boom. Much of the region’s iconic buildingprojects took place during this time. These includeKiama’s harbour (1876), Post Office (1878) andLighthouse (1887) among others. Many elements of nature are represented in totems withinthe Aboriginal culture. The Dreaming Poles sculptureson the Kiama Coast Walk depict this important harmonywith the land and sea. The cabbage tree palms seenthroughout the region are one such totem that are alsoan important resource to the Wodi Wodi people. Theversatile leaves of the palm were used to make shelterand mats, while strips of palm fibre made fishing line.The heart of the tree was reserved for special ceremonies. Many of our landmarks play an important role in the localAboriginal history, culture and heritage of the DharawalNation. Important stories of the Wodi Wodi people havebeen passed down, including that of Gurrungutch, theGreat Giant Eel — which tells of the creation of CathedralRocks and the Kiama blowholes.Scan the QR code to learnmore about Gurrungutch,the Great Giant EelDid you know?There are almost 400 dry stone wallsreminiscent of Britain and Ireland inthe hills and fields around Kiama —most built by Thomas Newing and hisson between the 1860s and 1920s.The 20th century brought the railway and tourism toKiama. The advent of refrigeration also helped pioneera thriving dairy industry across the lush green fields.Today, you can explore Kiama’s history for yourself atthe Pilot’s Cottage Museum on Blowhole Point or atGerringong Library and Museum.Gurrungutch,Giant Eelthe Great toptip

This mountain bird is a totem of the Dharawalpeople and a symbol of peace. They are mostfamous for their mimicry skills — likely to be heardbefore they are seen, especially in the rainforestsof the escarpment.
