Kiama Blowhole

South Coast NSW


A tourist draw for well over a century, Kiama's blowhole sits on the point by the centre of town. Girded by basalt columns and wave-thrashed rocks, the blowhole has a setting that's arguably more impressive than its occasional spurt of seawater. It's floodlit at night.

The Little Blowhole along the coast to the south is less impressive but much more regular.
