After seeing the city from the ground level, I took my family to the top of Mount Kiera. We cheated by driving to the top rather than hiking but in all fairness the usually path was too wet and slippery to climb. Behind us you can see the city and the ocean.
After that, we slowly made our way down to Jervis Bay. Well, I definately had to take them to the Kiama Blowhole. Good thing I did, the swell in the ocean was huge creating massive eruptions of water against the rocks. You could hear the roar of water coming through the tiny cave.
When we first got there though, there were whales about 100 yards off shore going North as they migrated from the cold southern waters. We saw a humpback whale breaching the water, but unfortunately it was too unpredictable to get a good picture. It was really spectacular watching the waves hit the rocky coastline.
As you can see, the blowhole was really erupting when we were there. There is a size comparison for you. You would not want to get stuck in the water by these rocks. NOOOO WWWAAAYY
After checking out the blowhole, Kate and Nat went off to check out the town.
Nick and I went exploring, checking out the tidal pools and stuff.
On the way back from the end of the rocky pennisula.
For lunch it was mandatory my family try the Australian kebab, relative of the gyro wrap. Beef or Chicken which was roasted, wrapped up in lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, tabouli, garlic sauce and bbq sauce = goodness!
We finally found the kangaroos. My family was so happy to see them. They were bouncing all over the place for them as well.
As we were looking for kangaroos we also ran into my arch nemesis, the laughing cuckaburro. hmph...still mad that two of them stole my lunch. Not cool man, not cool.
