Kiama Library’s latest self-guided tour lets you experience walking the streets of Kiama during the First World War.
Using your smartphone and the Kiama Library Tours app, you can take the 2.3 kilometre tour at your leisure, stopping along the way to learn about a soldier’s story, places relevant to the Anzacs and important sites in Kiama’s World War One history.
The Kiama WW1 tour, which features 15 stops, begins at Kiama Library, circles around our Showground, along the Coastal Walk, follows the Waratah March down Terralong St and concludes at Black Beach.
The 15 locations provide a glimpse into the Kiama of 1914 using interactive imaging technology and audio that allows users to ‘see’ and hear more places such as Kiama Memorial Arch and the two army training camps that were established at Barroul and Showground.

$687,500 stimulus upgrades for Kiama Showground
One of Australia’s great country showgrounds is set for a major refurbishment thanks to the NSW Government and Kiama Council.
The historic Kiama Showground will undergo extensive repairs and refurbishments worth $687,500 over the next 12 months.
Member for Kiama Gareth Ward said the investment in the iconic showground precinct, which dates back to 1908, was supported by the NSW Government’s COVID-19 stimulus program.
“The Kiama Showground is arguably the most beautiful and recognised Showground in regional Australia, and a crucial part of our community’s heritage and public life,” Mr Ward said.
“The showground has hosted the Kiama Show for more than a century, been the home of the Kiama Rugby Club and Kiama Knights Rugby League Club, as well as the setting for movies, rock concerts, car shows and innumerable weddings.
