| Kathy and Mark enjoy a three-night getaway
to Jervis Bay, NSW. Our new Uni-student friend Louise watches the
boys as we get away for some beach and rain-forest R&R. Here we
enjoy "breaky" at our B&B. |
| The view from our window and some lovely ferns we see on an evening
walk. |
| Our first evening stroll takes us down a river than flows
into the ocean. The path is through a national park. We stop to watch
the mud crabs peeking out. |
| Mr. Crabby and yet another lovely flower on the way. I
have purposely not tried to look up the names of the flowers. Labeling
them seems like such a feable attempt to "dominate over their
beauty". |
| A short walk takes us through some strange forest. We
love the patterns the moth larvae make on the Scribble Gum bark. Hyam's
Beach sporting "the whitest sands in the world" greets us
at the end of the path. |
| Mark discovers a long lost ... ummm rope. The crabs hide
in the rocks waiting for the tide to turn. |
| The next day we check out Murray's Beach. Things are "slower"
on Murray's ... |
| A rugged walk up the cliffs from Murray's Beach takes
us up to a view of Governor's Head (left). This small bush (right)
is all you'll have to hang on to if you brave too near the edge, about
a 250' drop to the rocks and surf below. This is not a place for Frick
and Frack. |
| Interesting critters along the way. |
| Walking through the Jervis Bay Botanic Gardens. One of
the few freshwater lakes around. This was a site of an early 19th
century homestead. |
