Kiama gets its own Stone Henge

​​The Kiama Henge Stones of basalt blocks on Irvine Street, (overlooking the Kiama Tennis club) has found a new home in Hindmarsh Park on the site of the demolished Kiama Ambulance Residence.


The demolition of the old Ambulance Station residence on Shoalhaven Street (behind the Old Fire Station Gallery) started on 20 July 2023 and was completed within a few days.



Locals have speculated what would replace the old house, which is now covered by grass.


With the arrival of the Kiama Henge Stones, it looks like they have found a new home after the private property they were on is about to be developed, according to reports.


While no observable alignment to the solstices has occurred, and the stones are not arranged in a circle, apparently for safety reasons, their resemblance to the famous Stone Henge on the Salisbury Plains is uncanny.
