Kiama

Kiama is the beachside resort south of Sydney, in the Illawarra region, south of Wollongong, Australia. With the area established with farming, it has been a tourist destination for day trips and weekends from Sydney for over a century.

Just over 90 minutes south of Sydney by car, or just over 2 hours by rail, it's famous for its spectacular coastline and surrounding rural scenery. With a population of more than 20,000 and the local government area covers 256 sq km; the main urban centres are Kiama, Gerringong, Jamberoo, Gerroa, and Kiama Downs / Minnamurra.

Kiama has a timeless legacy based on dairy farming and quarrying. Today's economy remains strongly supported by rural activities as well as a burgeoning tourism industry. The area has a vibrant arts sector and a strong sense of community.
