The NSW Road Trip

I drove from Katoomba in the Blue Mountains along the south coast of NSW Australia.

On the way, there are some opportunities to stop for photography.

Kiama NSW

The next overnight stop was Kiama Australia. The place had ocean views. However, there were signs that it will be renovated into townhouses. It's in a great location close to the town and the lighthouse and blowhole.

Day and Night Photos at Kiama Lighthouse

You can photograph the lighthouse during daylight after sunrise, sunset, blue hour, and night.

Here's my art photography created from my lighthouse photos.

Kiama Lighthouse Photos During the Day

My goal was to take photos of the lighthouse at different times of the day. In particular, during the day, within the hour before sunset, sunset, blue hour, and at night.

It sits on the headland, Blowhole Point. The address is Blowhole Point Road.

And, the Kiama Lighthouse parking surrounds it. Thus, you can visit the lighthouse at different times of the day for photography.

And, the blowhole is near the lighthouse. It's within walking distance.

Kiama Blowhole

Kiama Blowhole

Have you seen a blowhole in person?

It's amazing the force of the ocean creates the water to burst up through the hole in the rocks.

You can see and hear the force of nature at the blowhole.

 

Where is Kiama Blowhole?

It's nearby to the lighthouse on the headland.

They are both on Blowhole Point Road and are within walking distance of each other.
