Bombo

Wollongong

Bombo Quarry has become a very popular spot for sunrise photography due to the unique walls and columns left over from the quarrying in the 1800's. This shot was taken during sunset when we witnessed a supermoon rising over the ocean. #localsecrets
old quarry fantastic for photos
Finally made it down to visit The Boneyard in Kiama. This place feels like you're in another world. I got there in perfecting timing for the sunset.
So many photographic possibilities here any time of the day.....definitely worth a visit if you are heading down the NSW South Coast
Bombo Quarry, an easy 10min walk from Bombo Beach, is an iconic sunrise location a few minutes drive north of Kiama. High tide puts on an awesome show, although you are likely to get a little wet. There are a few locations to grab a shot from so take some time to explore around. This is a shot taken in the middle of winter at high tide.
