Kiama Coast Walk Day - cliffs and sea : June 2 2025

in Actifit22 days ago

More weird dreams - ravelling through the past - places and people.

Got a different plan for the day - weather is good. Going to walk part of the Kiama Coast Walk which runs from Minnamurra to Gerringong. Was thinking of train - train. Decided to drive to Kiama and then train two stops and walk back

The walk tracks as close to the cliffs as is safe - a few zigzags to check Minnamurra River

Popped into a few reserves before the walk started

View down to the river mouth

View up the river

View from the next reserve - Rangoon Reserve - island has the same name sometimes

View ahead to the walk path - two tracks - one up and over and the other around the edge of the water

The river opening

And back up the river - a paddle boarder got a perfect day. No wind - flat water - not too warm

View back to the island - other name is Stack Island

Signs do warn of steep edges - one such

Native rosemary on the cliff edge

Next higher spot for Stack Island - fishing boat busy

Hard to tell if the sea made these vertical cliffs. I am going to guess the humans did - quarry work

View back up Minnamurra River

And ahead to Kiama Downs and Bombo Headland

Active wave movement on the way around the headland. Imagine this on a big sea day

Had to plan the walk around this inlet - there was a squidgy muddy path next to the houses

Jones Beach art

Grey heron - was a bit nervous of me but more wary of diving in the long grass - so it posed

Some of the walk goes along the road - perfect juxtaposition of a garden kangaroo paw and the cliffs

View back to Cathedral Rocks - somewhat dwarfed by the cliffs

Memorial to a surfer who surfed the Boneyard and Bombo beach - vale Cameron Boyd

The Boneyard - hard to imagine this as a surf spot on a flat day like today

Looking ahead over the Bombo quarry and south to Kiama

The quarry with the steep steps to get down below. I chose not to go down. There was a tour group down there

Banksia up top

An idea of the vertical faces - going to guess 100 metres

Looking back across the quarry. As I walked away - some way away - I heard a scream. 10 minutes an ambulance came by - then another

View ahead to Bombo Beach

Next siren past was police rescue truck on the underpass toget access to the headland. Not good

Reflections on the creek going into Kiama . Make a note to walk Spencer Wetland just up from here

Next action event was helicopter flying over and doing a big loop and going in low over the headland. Going to guess the injuries were too serious to winch up those steps - airlift time. I have not looked up the gory details

Mushroom cascade not far from where my car was parked

Stopped by in bottle shop in Kiama - makes the 3rd person I talked to all day

Dinner: Pork chops BBQ

Watched MasterChef - stayed up late for US markets open - a few options trades

Borrowed an Australis Aurora photo - happening right here in Shoalhaven Heads

Absolutely - freezing cold and windy day today. Feels like winter arrived
