Kiama Blow Hole
While
sojourning in Sydney with my family a programme was set to visit Kiama a
beautiful seaside town on the NSW South Coast, is about 3 hrs drive from
Sydney, famous for Blow Hole, so one day we hit the road for the same, while on
way we crossed through deep jungle met with hailstorm, I was scared a little
bit but also enjoying the drive. Sunny was on the wheel as he resides there
since long so he was knowing all the tricks of driving on Australian highways.
So far driving is concern that country is very tough regarding its rules.
Highway speed set at 110 Kms/ hr and speed camera and other traffic signals are
fitted all over, so flouting it will may fetch you great wrath sometimes.
By 10 O’clock we reached there a small but
beautiful suburb full of colorful flowers all over is famous for Blow Hole, so
it is called “Kiama Blow Hole” the place was teeming with tourists all over and
eateries joints of different kinds were available. At first it was decided to
see the blow hole, so we went towards sea side and became thrilled to see the nature’s charismatic volcanic act. I just
put out my camera and kept it on high servo and shot blowing of water through
rough rocky terrain. This process of nature is also called marine geyser, is
formed as sea caves grow landward and upward into vertical shafts and exposed
towards the surface which can result in hydraulic compression of sea water
resulting throwing away the water high up in the air. It is continuous process
which is attracting the tourist’s from far off places. It was a great thrilling
geological scene worth watching.
Kiama blow
hole firstly sighted and recorded by George Bass, when he anchored his boat
near the place called Kiama Harbour in 1797. (From achieves).
Note- A genuine request to my viewers/readers please like,
