The Kiama Blow Hole is made of latite.
Toothed whales, like dolphins and porpoises, typically have one blowhole on top of their heads. This singular blowhole allows them to quickly surface, take a breath, and expel air before diving back underwater.
There she blows is a term whalers used when on the look out for whales. While hunting a whale has to come up for air to breath, and when that happens they shoot a plume of water out of their blowhole to clear the tubes (like a human would using a snorkel if it had become submerged). The plume is tracked, the ship turned, and they try to harpoon the whale.
A whale's blowhole is typically around the size of a basketball. This opening is connected to the whale's respiratory system and is used to expel air when the whale comes to the surface to breathe.
