With evacuation centres like Bomaderry Bowling Club at capacity, those from towns including Bomaderry and Kangaroo Valley wound their way to the safety of the seaside town.

Kiama Leagues Club duty manager Steve Treeves said the club was a designated evacuation centre in times of need.

And that need came around 1pm on Saturday, and ended around 11am on Sunday when cooler conditions meant people were able to return to their homes.

"We had around 30 or 40 people here for the night," Mr Treeves said. "Our upstairs function room was used to accommodate them, and they've been able to get some sleep and have access to food and water."

Australian Red Cross volunteers were on hand to help, and ensure people were registered.

"We have teams at more than 80 evacuation centres in NSW and Victoria at the moment," Red Cross representative Andrew Horne said.

"We work alongside other agencies such as Anglicare and The Salvation Army to provide support and care to those in need."

Kiama based business Coastal Glamping was quick to offer its services on the night, transporting around 14 single and double beds to the club to provide a bit more comfort. "We wanted to do our bit to help out," owner Martin Walker said.

Also doing their utmost to assist those affected by the bushfires are those at the Kiama Surf Lifesaving Club.

Junior activities chairman Lachlan Payne said people from near and far had answered the club's call to action - dropping off water, food, toiletries, bedding and clothing to be transported down the coast.

"We put out a call on Facebook thinking we'd get a few trailer loads of stuff, and we've been inundated," he said.

"We've already had one truck, Christmas Convoy, take stuff down to Lake Conjola, and now we're organising several more truckloads this week.

"The response has been overwhelming."
