Talk:Kiama Blowhole

Untitled
The Kiama Blow hole is now securely fenced, to prevent anyone getting too close. Viewing the blowhole from behind the fenced area still provides an excellent view. It is probably appropriate to suggest that buystanders can be drenched....several overseas tourists and locals have been involved in accidents around this dangerous site and should not be encouraged to get drenched. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Celcom (talk • contribs) 12:01, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Deaths at Kiama Blowhole
This is from a report in The Daily Telegraph (an Australian newspaper) Link; https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/they-are-some-of-the-most-beautiful-places-in-nsw-but-they-can-also-be-deadly/news-story/aa43b47688fc50437eda8c8908ae17b1

In 1992 seven people were killed when a freak wave sucked two Afghan families into the blowhole, a tragedy compounded five years later when two more members of one of the families died at the picturesque site.

Despite the local council erecting fences and signs to the danger, tourists can still regularly be seen standing perilously close to the edge as the water explodes through the opening. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.161.126.25 (talk) 07:33, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
