10 Instagram pics that will make you fall in love with Kiama

Emma De Fry | October 30, 2015 | 4:18 am | Comment

The town of Kiama on the New South Wales south coast certainly captured our hearts (and then some!)  With rolling green farmland that meets stunning coastline, there is something for everyone in a region that celebrates local food, wine, community, and coastline equally.

With local cafes serving fresh produce, a lighthouse that overlooks the roaring blowhole, and the Kiama coast walk which takes you 22 kilometres past headlands, rivers, beaches, the town centre, to Blowhole Point and Little Blowhole, where you can swim and snorkel at various points along the way.

Anyway, If you still need more convincing, here are 10 Instagram pics we loved showing you exactly why Kiama is the place to visit. Love to know your thoughts in the comments below! 

1. Cathedral Rocks at sunrise

'This photo was taken at #sunrise at Bombo – wave after wave crashing against the #incredible rock formations left abandoned as part of the disused quarry… One of my #favourite places to shoot in #NewSouthWales. It's a stunning spot – one that you'll be able to experience yourself on the upcoming #CanonCollective in #Kiama! All four events are free, but places are limited and you'll need to register to reserve your spot! Just visit canon.com.au/collective to register.'

2. Fresh, local produce made by passionate producers

One of the new dishes coming to our summer menu, the breaky salad. Hummus, roast butternut pumpkin, sprouts, pickled red onion, leaves, asparagus and charred sweet corn with poached eggs and flatbread. $17. #pennywhistlers #pennywhistlerscafe #kiama #breakfastsalad #salad

I was lucky enough explore regional Victoria earli I was lucky enough explore regional Victoria earlier in the year (between lockdowns!), and tour the Goldfields with @big4holidayparks – Sure, I got my much-needed fix of the outdoors and was able to feed my insatiable curiosity as I explored the regions utterly fascinating history & culture, but it was sitting up at the old bar of family run Munari wines, just outside of Heathcote that got me.
.
 Chatting to the chief winemaker Adrian Munari, and his daughter India (over a lovely red, of course) I heard all about the historic sheep station that was established in 1871, and life on the property today. (I wonder how the farmers endured the pandemic in 1919?)  
 .
Here’s to a happy summer holiday for us all, of enjoying those ‘moments’, wherever we are. 
.
 I based myself at the @BIG4BendigoAscotHolidayPark

He not only spends his life taking us travellers on scenic chopper tours over his World-Heritage Listed backyard of the #newengland region – he’s one of the many brilliant pilots who you’ll find hovering above the blazing heat helping fight our Australian Bushfires.

“To be part of the firefighting team is being in the #armidale  community - we all live here, our kids go to school here, so we love it. Armidale is a community where we all band together, we’re very passionate about our backyard, and we hope it shows.. and we certainly hope people come and see what it’s like. We’ve got a unique view of part of the world that not many people get to see.
