Kiama - The Big Poo

I've wanted to visit the Australia's big things for quite a while now. I've seen two of those in South Australia. According to the words of a wise man, Australia is full of giant fiberglass statues put up by nowheretowns to attract tourists (or something like that). I miss the man that said those words. I've dedicated this blog in the hope of showing him how much he and all his words mean to me. I pray that I'll somehow reunite with the love of my life through this blog.

Of all the attractive big things, obviously, The Big Poo seemed like the best place to start this journey with. Wiki states that it was erected by the townsfolk of Kiama as a protest against reusing waste water. It says that it was made form foam.

I caught a train from Sydney at 7:29am and arrived at Kiama after a 2:22 long journey. On the way the weather had already begnu to show that it wasn't going to be at its nicest, but I was hoping and praying that there would be blue skies down south as compared to Sydney. After all, they say that Wollongong is a beautiful place and Kiama isn't far from Wolly much.

As I got out of the train, it was pouring mixed with really strong winds. I

So without further ado, here're the photos from Kiama.

This is the Big Blowhole. This unique rock and cave formation makes trapped water spout out in a giant fountain over 30ft high at times.

There is a beautiful lighthouse near the big blowhole.

This is the small Blowhole. I personally found this one more beautiful as its much more in the open and is less crowded and there are rocks where you can just sit and watch it blow forever.. Its very very beautiful and mesmerizing.

But wait.. where's the Big Poo that got me motivated on the journey to Kiama? I aksed a few boys at the cafe near Shell harbor and the oldest and wisest of them said that it was 60km up somewhere and there was no way one could walk to it. But if it really was 60km of there.. It wouldn't really still be Kiama, would it, buddy? Guess he was makin sure his seniority and wiseness wasn't challenged in front of the youngsters. At the visitor's center, the older nice lady that I asked the same question to said that she was here for 7 years and has never seen it so it must've crumpled away.. After all it was made of foam.

But wait.. On the way to Kiama Hieghts just before the small blowhole, I found the giant caricature.
