Highlights
Outing Highlights
Kiama Blowhole and Coastal Vistas
One of the coast’s signature spectacles, the Kiama Blowhole forces ocean water through a rock cavity to explode skyward; the surrounding coastline delivers the sweeping ocean views that define this day on the South Coast.
Bald Hill & Stanwell Tops Panoramas
Bald Hill Observation Deck and the nearby Stanwell Tops Lookout provide broad, elevated sightlines over the Illawarra coast and the Sea Cliff Bridge — prime places to pause and take in the scale of the ocean and cliffs.
Nan Tien Temple
The day concludes at Nan Tien Temple, a striking cultural landmark just outside Wollongong and noted as the largest Buddhist temple in the Southern Hemisphere.
