 Walkabout - Kiama
Kiama is a well-known and much-favoured coastal resort located 119 km south of Sydney via the Princes Highway.
The railway from Sydney arrived at Bombo in 1887, being extended to Kiama in 1893.
Like many country pubs it once sported a cast-iron lacework verandah about the second storey but these were removed earlier in the century in an attempt to 'modernise' the appearance of the buildings and as a result of the dangers presented by automobiles running off the rudimentary roads and hitting the corner posts.
