Time to
make some
memories
4 WELCOME
2 It’s a busy world, your time is precious. Choosing to spend time in Kiama and
its surrounds is a good move. A perfect escape for doing plenty or doing plenty
of nothing; be it a holiday, weekend away or day out.
Starting with your choice of 9 beautiful
beaches; whatever your reason, there’s a
perfect & pristine beach to suit. Ease into
lazy hazy days of sun, sea & surf, enjoy
some family time on a patrolled beach,
splash about, catch a wave; it’s all here.
More than beaches: our rivers & rock
pools, inlets & basins and two harbours
let you launch your boat, fish, dive, swim,
kayak or windsurf. Cool, refreshing and
essential in summer – romantic, dramatic
and invigorating in winter!
Kiama’s celebrated Blowhole, discovered
by George Bass in 1870, shoots
spectacular plumes of water high into
the air, through an ancient rock tunnel.
An exciting natural phenomenon that
has given our largest town its name;
Kiama actually means “where the sea
makes a noise”. For those who enjoy a stroll or a power
walk, our scenic coastal walk is a must.
Signposted all the way, Kiama Coast Walk
stretches 22km between Minnamurra
River and Werri Beach via the Blowhole &
lighthouse past rocky headlands, beaches,
secret caves, coves and glorious ocean
vistas with whales & dolphins on show.
A 5 minute drive from the seaside
brings you to our charming countryside,
lush green tumbling hills, dairy cows &
pastures. Meander through picturesque
Jamberoo, Saddleback Mountain and
Rose Valley to see historic dry stone
walls, country pubs, wineries, farms &
red roofed homesteads. The views from
our mountains & hills over the ocean are
simply breathtaking.
Glimpse lyrebirds, abundant flora & fauna
at the Minnamurra Rainforest & waterfall
on your walk through the dark, cool & sun
dappled rainforest. At the nearby Illawarra
Fly Treetop Walk above the rainforest to take
a soaring bird’s eye view of the forest below. Never boring…nature’s gifts are
exquisitely showcased at every corner.
We love our visitors and it’s not long before
you’ll love us too. Our vibrant pubs, clubs,
cafes & eateries tempt. Arts, crafts &
produce markets, live music, festivals, sports
& wine shows inspire a convivial welcome. Action lovers can get their fix at the
famous Jamberoo Action Park, or at any
of our surfing competitions, sporting
tournaments or fishing challenges.
And the best news? An easy and scenic
train trip from Sydney or 1.5 hours in the
car and only 2.5 hours drive from Canberra
and you’re here! Could anything be more perfect?

harbour foreshore & park life.
Jamberoo
The country charisma of Jamberoo is a
mere 10 minute drive from Kiama CBD
through voluptuous hills & lush pastures
to get to more picture perfect rural
charm. Focused around the Jamberoo
Pub, a historical, culinary and musical
centrepiece to the town, the area is home
to the Illawarra Short Horn breed of
cattle, and has a long history of dairying
& farming. A golf course, bowling club,
a patisserie, antiques, a residential hub
and monthly markets give way to country
lanes, rich green vistas speckled with
First settled in the early 1800’s, our
history is reflected everywhere, lovingly
restored & tended old buildings, heritage

stop traffic as they mosey from pasture
to milking station, not something you see
too often anywhere else!
Take a moment to notice the iconic dry
stone walls rambling over the countryside,
built around 1850. Over 350 walls remain
today - a fascinating reminder of how
things used to be. Fortunately you have to pass through

and wide; walkways and cycle paths hug
our coastline linking Surf Beach, Kendall
Beach with our quirky effervescent Little
Blowhole, then meanders on to East
Beach, Loves Bay and Werri Beach. Holiday cabins & caravan parks nestle on
headlands, 4½ star hotels, cosy B&B’s,
cottages and holiday apartments are but
a stones throw or 5 minute wander to the
waves. Dip a toe or hang ten, our beach
culture is alive and thrilling!

daringly past The Benedictine Abbey,
through mysterious dark & dappled
rainforests, home to lyrebirds, wombats
and most certainly fairies.
Accommodation options include farm
stays, country houses, cottages, a country
pub and many a welcoming B&B.

of Minnamurra and Bombo Beach. Minnamurra River saunters down the

Our History
The way
we were
So many fascinating reminders of days gone by…
so much of that character is still a part of the scene today
throughout Kiama & its villages. Discover it all again!

8 History
Discovered by George Bass in December
1797 and first settled by Europeans
around 1830, our rich history is reflected
in heritage trails, charming old buildings
such as our Italianate post office,
Courthouse (completed in 1860 it’s the
oldest surviving building on the South
Coast of NSW) and unique timber terrace
shops, once miner’s cottages.
Timber and the getting of cedar was our
first major industry, plus a dabble in wheat
(find the remains of an old flour mill near
Bush Bank); however the area became
best known for its dairying. Jamberoo had
four butter factories alone and Australia’s
first dairy co-operative. Today, our rolling
green hills still sustain the dairy farms that
provide the milk for your cuppa. Can you believe that Kiama Harbour
was once a quarry? Stone and blue
metal mining commenced in the area
in the 1800’s and continues today. The
remarkable landscapes at Bombo Quarry
and the sporting fields at Kiama Leisure
Centre are quarrying legacies. Explore the full story on our coastal walks
with fascinating details found along
the way, or drop into the historic Pilots
Cottage Museum on Blowhole Point,
bursting with stories of our past. The
Kiama Family History Centre is one of the
largest in NSW, a great opportunity to dig
about in your own past. A visit to some of our cemeteries promises
an absorbing adventure, try Kiama
Cemetery at Bombo, Kendall Cemetery or
the Gerringong Cemetery located above
Boat Harbour on Gerringong Headland.
Have you noticed those dry stone walls
rambling over the countryside? Now
heritage listed and built between 1850 &
1880, over 350 remain today.
The area began luring tourists well over a
century ago. Kiama’s Blowhole started to
attract tourists from around 1850 with
visitors arriving by steamer from Sydney. In the 1890’s they could arrive by train.
The long stretch of firm flat sand at
Gerroa’s Seven Mile Beach has its own
notorious past. Used for horse racing in
the 1860’s, sand mining in 1894 after the
discovery of gold and car & motorcycle
racing in the roaring 20’s. This same beach
was used by Sir Charles Kingsford Smith in
1933 to take off on the first commercial
flight between Australia and New Zealand. October, 1874 a meeting was held to
seek means to erect public baths in Kiama
for the use of residents and visitors. Up
until that time baths had not made their
appearance in the homes of the people
and washing the body was an uncommon
practice. The Lands Department granted
a site on the north side of the harbour
for one pound per annum rent. Upon
completion in 1877, tickets were sold
at tuppence per bath. These became the
Ladies Baths. In 1888 the Men’s Baths
were constructed on Blowhole Point.
These “rock pools” as they’re known today
make for a beautiful morning swim and
are a popular attraction in summer.

History 9
Natures Playground
Blowholes,
beaches &
our great
outdoors
Describing our natural attributes needs a whole new list of superlatives.
We suggest you just get amongst our glorious outdoors and enjoy.
Walk it, drive, cycle or swim, from
one beautiful end of our area to the
other, you’ll experience natures bounty
everywhere. Long stretches of pristine golden beaches,
our shoreline offers you dramatic crashing
waves to gentle whispering ripples. Find
your favourite beach. Is it Jones Beach, Surf
Beach, Kendalls Beach, Werri Beach, Mystics,
Bombo, Easts Beach, Seven Mile Beach or
Boneyard?…Nine to choose from!
Two glorious rivers & estuaries at
Minnamurra and Crooked Rivers, four rock
pools: 2 on either side of Kiama Harbour,
one at Werri Beach & one at Gerringong’s
Boat Harbour, rocky headlands &
rugged outcrops, waterfalls, rainforests,
mountains, lookouts, winding country
lanes, babbling brooks, pastures, hills &
valleys – every vista is spectacular. Exposed rock along our coast was laid
down around 50 million years before
dinosaurs roamed so it’s no surprise that
fossils are to be found amongst rock
platforms and cliffs.
10 Blowholes & Beaches
A native garden at Bonaira Reserve,
Carrington Falls, Minnamarra Rainforest
& Falls at Budderoo National Park,
Spring Creek Reserve & Bird Hide and
Barren Grounds Nature Reserve offer a
cornucopia of flora and fauna, a delight for
any nature lover.
And we proudly boast two Blowholes! Our famous, impressive “big” Blowhole,
next to Kiama Lighthouse performs at its
powerful best when the seas run southeast, squirting columns of water some
20 metres into the air. Views from this
volcanic headland both up and down
the coast, take your gaze as far as the
eye can see. Mighty migrating whales &
frolicsome dolphins are frequent guests on our shoreline.
A few headlands south is the frisky “little”
Blowhole, playfully & constantly shooting
plumes of seawater into the air, a perfect
place to pause and ponder on your coastal
walk from Kiama to Werri Beach. Lucky
enough it operates at its best when seas
are hailing from the north-east, opposite
to its bigger brother.

Kiama Coast Walk
The spectacular 22 km Kiama Coast Walk
begins at Minnamurra and wanders past
headlands, rivers, beaches, Kiama town
centre (stop for a coffee!) up to Blowhole
Point then on towards the Little Blowhole
passing more beaches & bays before
winding up at Werri Beach. You will find
route markers and interpretative signs
frequently along the way.
The last 6 km between Loves Bay & Werri
is particularly blessed with its own rugged
& untouched natural beauty. Keep an eye
out for whales (May to November) and
sea eagles & hawks all year round.
This mostly easy walk can be done in a
day but more fun to do in sections.
Easy with railway stations nearby,
parking, picnic areas and cafes offering
natural breaks. Here is the walk in three
easy sections.

Kiama Heights to Werri Beach
8.4 km, 3 hours
6 km, 2hrs one way
Start at the mouth of the Minnamurra
River, great for a swim or snorkel. Make
mental note to come back for fishing or
a canoe trip. Head south and you will
pass Jones Beach, Cathedral Rocks, Bombo
Beach, Kiama Harbour and quite possibly
a tempting café or two. Keep walking
till you get to the lighthouse & Blowhole
Point. For those that don’t mind being
sidetracked, the Boneyard, Bombo Quarry
and Spring Creek Wetlands are worthy
diversions. Leave the world behind. From here on it’s
just you along the cliff tops marvelling
at the sea & solitude, save for a whale
or some bird life. You will be zig zagging
through 4 headlands, markers every
kilometre and signage highlight the
fascinating history and geology of the
area. Your walk ends at the Werri Lagoon,
and Werri Beach. Continue on just a little
further to the Werri Fish & Chip shop,
worth the effort!
Section 2.
Blowhole Point to Kiama Heights
5 km, 1.5 hours
For the most part this section takes you
through a series of waterfront reserves;
Storm Bay, Surf Beach, Kendalls Beach,
Easts Beach and Loves Bay, laced together
by headlands. The Little Blowhole is
midway along this section. Take a break
here to check out this perky water feature
in action. Great views at every turn,
especially looking back towards Kiama &
the lighthouse.
The town of Gerringong is another 2-3
kms walk along Werri Beach and up the
southern headland, be sure to stop at
the whale watching platform and visit
Gerringong’s picturesque cemetery
overlooking Boat Harbour.
Continue down Belinda Street to the
railway station (1.5km) to complete the
loop or continue on to Gerroa and Seven
Mile Beach past the golf course.

Located approximately 15minutes south of Kiama (turn off the
Princes Highway to Gerringong) the park is located between the
coastal villages of Gerroa and Shoalhaven Heads.
The long sweep of Seven Mile Beach is backed by sand dunes

THE PACE
Explore the heart of a rainforest or walk amongst the treetops,
then be back at the beach for a quick swim before dinner.
Feel the peace at Minnamurra Rainforest,
a fifteen minute drive west of Kiama. A
rare remnant of subtropical and warm
temperate rainforest, it shows how the
landscape was before white settlement,
when the cedar-cutters were the first to
come through.

Escarpment brings you to the Illawarra
Fly Treetop Walk where you can view the
rainforest from a different perspective. The

The joy of
SHOPPING
You’ll find an enticing variety of shops from toys & quirky
homewares to fun & funky fashion.
While some find joy in rock fishing or an
early morning surf, for some of us the
most thrilling catch of the day is that
new handbag or perfect pair of shoes. Nothing quite beats a foray amongst the
delightful boutiques and retail enclaves
of Kiama & Gerringong. Discover Sonia
G, Kikis at Kiama and Ocean Angelz at
the Terrace Shops and Sandstone Walk
in Kiama, or our favourite Beachside
Emporium, Quirky Cow, Miffs on

Manning Street Kiama
38 SHOPPING
Terralong or MAS Homeswares in
Gerringong for something very special. And no holiday is complete without
at least a little pampering. Indulge in
some essential me time at one of our
lovely beauty spas & salons. A massage
perhaps?…its definitely time to unwind.
