Southern Trip Aug – Nov 2012

Jervis Bay August 2012 Well we are on the road again and heading south. Stopped off at Nowra and then headed down to Jervis Bay, spending a few nights at Currarong. This is a sleepy little village with a few hundred people, a general store and a café that opens occasionally. However because it surrounded by national park, as well as some spectacular coastal scenery, the population rises to over 5,000, then empties to become a drowsy hamlet again. The highlight of our stay was the beautiful walks around Abrahams Bosom at Beecroft Peninsula. The wildflowers were just coming out when we went for our walks and the locals said that it will be a riot of colour in a few weeks. Nevertheless, we enjoyed many walks around the headlines. What was amazing was the prolific variety of shrubs and trees that changed as we went closer to the coast or even in and out of basins and hills.
