The best way to look around Kiama is on foot, and Kiama Municipal Council has produced a wonderful guide to walking tracks around the whole Municipality of Kiama. The guide contains historical records and photographs, and information about Kiama, Gerringong, Jamberoo, Seven Mile Beach National Park, Buderoo National Park, and elsewhere. The guide is available from the Tourist Information Centre on Blowhole Point, and while you're there, walk out and see the blowhole. Just north of Kiama at Dunmore there is trail riding through coastal farmland and forest, while to the south is Gerroa and Seven Mile Beach National Park . Black Head at Gerroa gives great views of the park, and the rock platform below it is a rich fossil bed.
Camping is available in the park, and fees apply.
The local bus service connects Kiama with Gerroa and Gerringong weekdays only. Do not miss the Minnamurra Rainforest in Buderoo National Park . This rare tract of subtropical rainforest is accessible from Kiama by bus weekdays only. Lyrebirds are commonly seen and heard on the walks through the rainforest and Minnamurra Falls. There is a visitor's centre, elevated walkway, and walking tracks to give visitors easy access to the forest, while conserving its unique qualities.
