Kiama Hotels and Kiama Accommodation
Of the coastal resorts south of Sydney, Kiama (located 90 minutes south of Sydney) is probably the most attractive. A small resort and fishing town, Kiama is famous for its star attraction, the Blowhole. Stemming from a natural fault in the cliffs, the blowhole explodes into a water spout when a wave hits with sufficient force. Whether your interest is in history, arts & crafts, fishing,riding a wave, its all located in Kiama. The name Kiama is from the aboriginal word Kiaram-a, to which some sources give the meaning 'Where the sea makes a noise'- a reference to the famous Kiama Blowhole. The first recorded reference to the district was by George Bass who anchored his 28ft whaleboat in the sheltered bay (now known as Kiama Harbour) in December 1797.
