Part of our Grand Pacific Drive trip last year was a visit to Kiama, a place for water lovers as it offers surfing, diving, fishing, canoeing and windsurfing. Kiama is also known for the "Kiama Blowhole", the town's major tourist attraction. Under certain sea conditions, the blowhole can spray water up to 25 metres (82 ft) in the air, in quantities that thoroughly drench any bystanders.
We arrived an hour before lunch so we took lots of photos by the lighthouse.
And lots of photos of blue, blue seas!!!!
Lunch was at the Beach and Bush Gallery Cafe. This cafe is a feast to the senses as they serve good food and has photography gallery. The photographs were by internationally-known Australian fine image photographer, Gary Barnes. His work is amazing and breathtaking.
You can find his photographs posted all over the cafe.
I vaguely remember what we ate that day. We had a bowl of Caesar Salad and (based from the photo we took) Grilled Chicken (not sure!). The name of the dishes we ordered escapes me right now but I assure you that they served us a delicious meal.
I love this reminder they have by the counter. Not only do they guarantee that they will serve quality food but they also encourage everyone to appreciate the gallery and views of Kiama--it's like encouraging us to live in the moment and enjoy being!
Some of Gary Barnes' photographs are available in postcard format so I bought one as a souvenir. This was the photo I bought....
If ever you are in Kiama, visit the Beach and Bush Gallery.
