Slow down. This is Kiama. 📷 @chloeaubin ✨

What day is it again?! Ahh, that deliciously confusing time between Christmas and New Year... If your belly’s still full of ham and your schedule’s as empty as our beaches at sunrise, it’s the perfect time to float it all away in salty waters. One of our favourite spots to take a dip is the Blowhole Point Ocean Pool.

Anyone else get goosebumps watching this?! 😍 This incredible (zoomed in) footage captures a mama and baby whale gliding through the stunning waters of Kiama.

Ready to channel your inner 'Irwin' and help protect Australia’s wildlife? If these playful little fellas (and fella-ettes) could stay still long enough, you’d notice they’re Australian Fur Seals! Seals love to ‘haul out’ along the NSW coast to rest or reproduce, and the Department of Environment needs your help to collect crucial data through their 'Haul Out, Call Out' initiative (khaki sets optional, but encouraged 😉). Reporting sightings will help our furry flippered friends in a number of ways: 🦭 Australian fur seals are listed as vulnerable, and your reports will play a vital role in their protection. 🦭 Your sightings, paired with drone surveys, will provide key insights into seal populations and their favourite spots. 🦭 Tracking seals helps us understand their health and behaviour, ensuring effective conservation efforts. 🦭 Identifying seal hangouts reduces disturbances and helps create safer environments for both seals and humans. Remember—admire from a distance! Keep at least an Olympic-sized swimming pool away, and please do not feed them any tucker!

Morning magic in our own backyard 🐋✨ We’re incredibly fortunate to host these magnificent creatures during whale season (May - November). Despite their impressive size—fully grown humpback whales can reach over 18 metres—they aren't immune to human-made dangers. ⁠ It's our responsibility to ensure their survival by protecting their habitat and the health of our oceans. Next time you visit Kiama, or any beach or waterway, make a simple but impactful choice and #Take3fortheSea. Simply pick up 3 pieces of rubbish to take with you. Your small action can make a big difference not only to the oceans but to these gentle giants! For more information on how you can help, head to Take 3 📸 @ausmashmash ID - A majestic whale glides gracefully through the water at sunrise, its fin cutting through the surface, followed by the powerful sweep of its tail as it disappears beneath the waves.

Rise and row🧡 Wishing you a very GOOD morning from the peaceful waters of Minnamurra. Did you know the Minnamurra River flows from Budderoo National Park to the Tasman Sea? It's the perfect spot for kayaking, paddleboarding, or soaking in glorious sunrises like this one.

Long exposure magic ✨ Although Bombo Headland is typically a photographer's paradise at sunrise and dusk, this compilation proves that the magic continues to happen at night. With minimal light pollution, Bombo is a prime spot for astrophotography. Head there during a new moon for the darkest skies and capture the Milky Way in all its glory. Long exposure shots of the crashing waves against the starry backdrop will leave you with a series of photos like this. Remember to always check the tides before your adventure, and bring a sturdy tripod and headlamp if heading out at night.
