Blow Hole Kiama :: Love Padlocks

We have been to the Blow Hole at Kiama twice so far (that is the Bigger one). Once was when it was raining and really windy.  It was really something to see, the other time was a bit of a let down because the waves were not that big! Yet we love going there so I am sure we will return again soon.

The first time we went there one of our boys (I can’t remember who) said “Look, there is Love Padlocks on the railings. We must be at that famous bridge where everyone puts them up”. David and I laughed because we were talking about the Love Padlocks on the Bridge in Paris the week before. We had seen a photo of it and thought it was incredible how MANY padlocks were on one bridge.

Apparently couples add their details to the locks, and chain them on the bridge.

Every few years someone comes along and cuts them down – takes them away. Only to have the bridge once more covered again….and then there are bridges where the locks are left alone for many years…and couples return on special anniversaries to see their padlock, take photos and add an updated lock (kinda like an anniversary present where they state how many years they have been married).

I so think its the most romantic thing I have ever heard (seen) yet never thought to engrave a lock and add it to a railing…

Have you heard of it?

Or seen it done?

Maybe you have your own Love Heart Story? Or maybe you even recognize one of the locks that are at the Big Blow Hole Kiama because you added your own love padlock there?

  1. I’ve never seen that! The Kiama Blowhole is such fun aye?! We went there on a stormy day with the dark sky behind, the lighthouse a brilliant white and a rainbow on the horizon, spray coming up in front. Such a beautiful moment.

    • It sure is a wonderful place to visit. And the Love Padlocks are amazing :)

  2. I have seen these at the Cinque Terre. That one looks a bit tacky, but they are all over Europe, mainly on bridges I believe and they look cool.
