Woke up to a beautiful sunny day and sat and had coffee outside watching the bay. After breakfast, Nick and Katharine went into Vincentia to do laundry and a grocery shop and I spent the morning doing schoolwork with the other three. They all did really well and Katharine joined in for an hour or two when she got back. We had lunch and then set off for Booderee National Park, about 20 minutes south of us. The National Park is part of Jervis Bay Territory, a...

Woken up just before 5am by Matty who decided he didn't want to sleep anymore and so started watching a movie!! Put him back to bed, much to his disgust, and then fell back to sleep until after 8am by which time it was difficult to drag myself out of bed.

I wasn...

Woken up by Anna having a hissy fit with Katharine - and Anna won!! Another beautiful sunny day so had coffee watching the waves and then Nick made everyone breakfast while I had a shower.

In return, I slept in until 830am and then Nick and I sat outside and had a coffee while watching the surfers tackle the waves in front of us. We decided to walk the beach before breakfast as the tide was out and the rock pools all exposed. We all had a lovely tim...

Another sunny morning despite rain over night. Went outside to hang the towels up to dry and found a massive male kangaroo sunbathing at the back of the van! We had coffee together and then he hopped off and we began pack up. We were on the road by 10am and drove to Huskisson, the oldest town on Jervis Bay. The caravan park looks out over Huskisson Bay and when we got here we had our choice of sites - we chose one next to the camp kitchen so that we can use...
