Kiama, Gerringong and Berry in a day

1. Kiama Blowhole~30 min at the stop

The day starts at Blowhole Point: the lighthouse, a free viewing platform and a cafe. Wait for a south-east swell if you want the tall column of water.

Worth knowing: George Bass was the first to record it: in December 1797 he anchored his whaleboat in the bay now called Kiama Harbour.

Tip: Park on the point and stay off the wet rocks. The shops are on Terralong Street if you want a coffee before you drive on.

2. Little Blowhole, Kiama Heights~25 min at the stop

The smaller blowhole on Tingira Crescent in Kiama Heights. It is more reliable in a north-east swell, when the big one on the point is quiet. Entry is free, and you can watch at any time.

Tip: It is a short stop from the street parking. The road then runs south to Gerringong.

3. Werri Beach~40 min at the stop

The long beach at Gerringong. The town and the shops sit just behind the dune, on Fern Street.

Tip: Swim between the flags when they are out. Gerringong station is in town if you leave the car in Kiama.

↓ drive · 5 min · 2 km

4. Fern Street, Gerringong~40 min at the stop

Gerringong's main street: small shops, coffee and lunch between the beach and the drive to Berry. The pin sits on the street.

Tip: Eat here if you want Berry to be just the donuts and the bread. Queen Street is about 25 minutes along the highway.

Tip: Berry station is a few minutes on foot. The donuts are at the van on number 73, the bread and coffee at Milkwood. Check the van's hours on the day.
