To see a bit of the coastline between Sydney and Melbourne, we rented a last time a small red car. Unfortunately the first day started directly with a lot of rain. But anyway, we didn’t want to miss a few highlights around Kiama: the Cathedral Rocks, a rocky formation that indeed resembles a church, and blow holes. As it was windy and rainy, we were lucky and could see water fountains that have been pushed out from the deep upwards. Not the promised 20-30m, but at least a few meters. We stayed for the night on a campground and as it still continued to rain, we decided to sleep in the car, not to risk again to get wet in the tent. In fact, it was really comfy in the car! The next day we drove back to Wollongong, because we wanted to visit the biggest Buddhism temple (Nan Tien Temple) of the Southern Hemisphere (!), which has been closed the day before. We learned from our mistakes and planned this time only a really short distance for these 4 days, so no problem to go back again! And it was worth it, to make a long story short: the temple was exactly like you imagine or know from TV. A peaceful haven, enormous Asian buildings… You will see that on the pictures. We went to Jervis Bay at the same day and made a stop at the 7-mile Beach.
