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
