Jervis Bay

Stayed at Huskison, Jervis Bay. Would have liked to have stayed in the national park but when we tried to book from Robertson, it was already full. :( Didn't really want to book earlier as we were changing our itinerary a fair bit as we went along and were turning up in the bay on a different day than originally planned. Unfortunately coincided with a Saturday night! Can't complain too much with beach straight out the front and lovely new hot showers in the camp ground we ended up at. Girls loved the new pool too even tho it was freezing. We Qlders really are spoilt if you prefer warmer water to swim in.

Spent the afternoon of our first full day here at Moona Moona creek. It was a little more sheltered from the wind than the front beach. It was once again blowing its tail off. We helped the girls build an enormous sand castle on a sand island in the middle of the tidal creek. Took most of the afternoon. Girls were proud that the remnant mound could still be seen when we left two days later!! 

Checked out the national park end of the bay the following day including Govenor's head (girls loved the walk - not!) and the old light house ruins. Loved Murray's Beach, but thought the white sands and turquoise water needed a sunny day to really show it off. We were there on a rather moody cloudy day. a good day for touring as not too hot. The girls still tried out the water. There is a small sea cave at one end that we looked over. Cool. Etched out of the sandstone. 

And we saw an echidna on our walk back to the car park. Another hit for the watch list.

When the next day brought wind free sunny skies instead of the forecast rain, we had to go back to see Murray's beach in all its glory. And we were rewarded for the effort! There was an old swamp wallaby making her way slowly across the beach and it was warm enough for me to get in the water (for five seconds at least).

We couldn't help but linger a little before piling back in the car for the trip south to our mate's place at Narooma.
