Jervis Bay

Jervis Bay, NSW

We took a drive down in the camper to Jervis Bay on Friday 25th Jan, accompanied by my friend from the UK who came to stay in Manly and soak up the rays for a week and a half.
The drive was a little longer than we had anticipated but we broke it up with a little welcome break at a local winery we spotted en route! Anyone who reads my blog will know that Luke and I have become somewhat season pros (ha!?) at this wine tasting malarkey but it was a first for my friend and I think she appreciated the experience (free wine) as much as we do.

Kangaroo and Joey

Jervis Bay was on our 'to do' list whilst staying in NSW, primarily due to it's main claim to fame as having the some of the whitest sandy beaches in the world. It's also in the Lonely Planet Guide as a must see. Ticking these places off is extremely satisfying. Yes, we are lame like that.

Totem-pole

Jervis Bay is a large national park about 3 1/2 hours (in a 23 year old camper van) from Sydney. There are several bays, all with beautiful white sand and crystal blue water. There are lots of roos and wallabies hopping around the parkland and we even spotted a kangaroo carrying a joey in it's pouch.
After larking around on the beaches for a few hours we started the long drive back to the northern beaches, stopping only to scoff a takeaway pizza.
