Kiama locals, if you missed last week’s powerful episode of Who Do You Think You Are?, you can now watch it on SBS On Demand.

And you absolutely should.

This is Kiama as you have never seen it before. Wild, beautiful, and steeped in the raw emotion of family history. The episode follows Alone Australia winner Gina Chick as she uncovers her tangled ancestry.

Along the way, she discovers her great-grandfather Sid worked at Bombo Quarry, and that her biological grandmother was Australian literary icon Charmian Clift.

Filmed on Dharawal Country, the episode features two standout Kiama locals, historian Dr Tony Gilmour and award-winning author Nadia Wheatley. Together, they help Gina navigate the deep truths of her family story.

Dr Gilmour joins Gina at Bombo Quarry and Hartwell House, sharing the history of Sid’s work and character. Nadia Wheatley meets her at the Pilots Cottage Museum to talk about the life and legacy of Charmian Clift.

These conversations are raw and powerful.

“This stopped being a theory and became something I felt in my bones,” Gina says, as she faces the emotional weight of colonial impact and personal inheritance.

The Pilot’s Cottage Museum display on Charmian Clift is open every Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 3pm.

Entry is by donation, and after watching this episode, you will want to visit.

So, who do you think we are? We are a community rich in story, landscape, and spirit.

Watch the episode on SBS On Demand and see Kiama in a new light.
