Woke up early and had our last cup of coffee overlooking the bay. We had breakfast and packed up and were on the road by 9.30am. We took the 'Grand Pacific Drive', the coastal route to Kiama and it was very pretty and scenic. We reached Kiama by 11am and checked into a small but lovely caravan park nestled between two beaches on a bit of a cliff. We have views of the ocean from our annex as long as no one parks their car in the driveway in front of us! We ha...

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...

Happy Mother's Day!! Woken up by the kids who all climbed into our bed and gave me lots of wrapped up presents - shells, stones and books they had made. Matty had also wrapped up most of his toys (broken) and books for me to have and was quite offended when he found them back in his own bag later on! Nick gave me a bottle of sticky and made us all pancakes for breakfast. The kids went on to have endless bowls of cereal and toast and it was mid morning by th...

Woke up to a beautiful morning and had an even better view of the beach as a small campervan had moved on. While having our first cup of coffee Nick spotted a pod of dolphins playing in the bay - always a good start to any day! After breakfast we got ready to walk the beach and head into town but got chatting to our neighbours instead and an hour later we were still talking and the kids were getting restless. We walked the beach and searched the rock pools the...
