Brilliant shot. And people wonder how they get washed into the surf.

Thanks for all the comments,

Norm - this is not as dangerous as it looks as the water does not surge back off the rocks - however the very weight of the water can floor you and I have seen people cut very nasty on the lava rocks when that broken spray has them like a fire hose.

Six people have drowned here in the last couple of decades, but they climbed down to sea level.

Special place for me as I visited here with my wife on hols in April 1983. It was late in the evening and there were only two other people around. I heard Geordie accents so introduced myself to this elderly couple because my parents were from Durham. And I like Geordies. Turned out that they went to school in Leamside with mum and dad. Coincidences....

I have been passing through Kiama every year or so for the past 20 years and I have never seen the blowhole anywhere near as big as that. That would have been a great day to be there. Fantastic photo.
