Invading Sydney from the south

Just like I was put to sleep by the sound of the ocean, was I woken up by it. It does not get better than this, really, it doesn't.
I do not plan to stay here, just get up, pack and be out of here, but on my map there is a little note; "Kiama blowhole", and its just next to the campsite. I don't want to miss a that so I pack up and go to see this blowing hole of theirs.
A bit of a tourist attraction it would seem, I'm by far not the only person there. so basically it's a hole. No no I'm not trying to make fun of it, it really is just a hole. Right in the middle of some strange looking rocks. The big huha is that the waves hitting the rocks will sometimes get trapped in a small cave and be forced up the hole and make a kind of geyser, and when it does, the tourists goes "wuuhoo".

There was another thing though that caught my attention more, and that was the wood-like rocks they had here. It's very strange, but the texture of the rocks was just like wood when seeing them up close, yet they felt like rock, not surprisingly. Odd, I wonder if it's a normal thing on this coast. “wuuhoo”, there it was again. Right, I have been in Kiama long enough, but I will say it looks and feels very nice, and I would recommend this to anyone travelling along the coast up to Sydney.

Back on bike, earplugs in, helmet on, sunnies on, turn bike around, drive off, realise I forgot about gloves, realise they have fallen off, turn bike around, go back, try to reach gloves on ground, fail, get off bike, put on gloves while smiling awkwardly to spectators, back on bike, head off, exhale. The coast road quickly ends but it is a short drive to Sydney, only 130 km or so. Now I don’t know if I'm just lucky, or if my map reading skillz have levelled up, but I manage to find the front door or Jason's home in Marrickville just using the paper maps. Well ok ok I did ask this one guy about the number because that made little sense. Apparently they don't believe in numerical continuity here. I'm here, I get unpacked and introduced, and get my self a nice long shower. The next few days will be urban exploration and new years eve. Sydney City, your number is up.
