Only 1.5 hrs from Sydney Where the lush green countryside runs into golden sands. Well grasses sites, surfbeach, children's lagoon, tennis courts, camp kitchen, villas, ensuite cabins, power and tent sites. Trace your family's history Family history research has been a quiet hobby with people for many years however of late it has been booming. Events such as the bicentennary, the new century and now the centenary of the Commonwealth have all added impetus to this boom. The Internet has had an impact with some people who have found some information whilst 'surfing the net' and this inevitably leads to serious research at places such as the Kiama Family History Centre that are equipped for such a task.
Task is perhaps the wrong word to use when talking family history, as family history is fun.
It is in fact a great detective story with you as the sleuth and the surprises will come thick and fast as you start delving back in your past uncovering facts the family had not known before. Because of its facilities functions and opening times, plus the fact it is a local council operation, the Kiama Family History Centre is unique to the world. Resources at the Kiama Family History Centre enable you to research back to the first arrivals and then in their places or origin and beyond. Staff at the centre can help in this search helping you to unfold a canvas of great proportions. The Kiama Centre conduct courses in family and social history research throughout the year.
