Last day in Kiama

Sad to say but tomorrow we move on. It has been absolutely magical here but we will be off to find more magic spots!!. We would not even know we are in a caravan park, as it is so large and very organized that we have our own private beach. Well it feels like that anyway! No tents or caravans near us at all. We have enjoyed some great walks to various spots. Ended up in someones farm today with cows and newborn calves.

We are off to explore Berry this afternoon. Looking forward to that as we have good memories of Berry.

We seem to have all sorts of birds move in when we arrive at campsites. This is our resident duck.

He's very photogenic.

Kiama

We arrived in Kiama last night and have booked for 3 nights at this stage, as our site is right on the beach and it is a beautiful caravan park.

The coastal town of Kiama is said to gain it’s name from the aboriginal word Kiaram-a which when translated from the local aboriginal language means “where the sea makes a noise”, referring to the famous “Kiama Blowhole”.

There are lots of walking tracks here including up to the lighthouse, Kiama Harbour and both the Main Blowhole and Little Blowhole (this is just near our campsite) so may end up staying in Kiama longer.

One of the many boats Mal checked out coming into Kiama Harbour.
The Town Clock in Kiama reminds me of Ballina or St Tropez in France!!!.

 

A row of original miners cottages built in 1879. There are many old heritage buildings in Kiama, including many of these cottages.
