Taking advantage of the last of the Autumn warmth, we spent a long weekend at a site in Huskisson, overlooking Jervis Bay. The campsite was lovely and it was great to wake and look over the ocean.
(The site is behind the row of trees)
Sian (Sal’s sister) stayed in a cabin just yards away and joined in with all of the usual Dorsett family activities.....including swimming in the sea, 3 days in a row!.....that has to be a first and Sal didn’t even try and bite anyones arm! (Butlins, 1977, Barry Island....Tidy).
Camping breakfast...doing it rough!
Spot the smelly rabbit....if this was a scratch and sniff blog, I'd have to add a warning.
Backcombing.....fashion!
In the evenings a number of very friendly Possums came down from the trees.
How delicious cute.
Usual rock pool fun which results in a pile of “special” things which are obviously the most precious of possessions ...........so precious indeed, that Dad never forgets to leave them behind at the campsite (found one in the van 3 days later......smelt like Hunstanton mud flats at low tide)
We visited the School where Sian did a 12month Teacher exchange in 1995. Many things had naturally changed, including Sian’s memory! Now was it this road that I lived on?!
Most days were perfect clear blue skies and no wind, bar one day which produced a good force 5, side shore, awesome blasting conditions.........oh why can’t the weather be “bad” more often.
Hyams Beach, reportedly the Whitest Sand in the World. Yep, its white, but I have to say it doesn’t make great sandcastles, the slightest sniff of a wave and the dam stuff self levels! Not impressed.....don’t put that in the brochure do they......didn’t stay long.
A Sparrow, I think.
Yep, I don't look a day over 42.......Glenn, nothing to see here...scroll down.
A one hour tour offering views of the Conwy Estuary, Puffin Island and Snowdonia...Jervis Bay is home to 70+ Dolphins and it was nice to get a bettter view by paddling out a bit.
Just great! Me 42years and counting, Katie less than 4 minutes.......get back to your iPod/Playstation thingy
With the little ones safe in the warm water, Paul does a bit of Great White spotting.
