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. We started the day with a walk on the beach, climbing over the rock pools where we found a large sea slug. The kids wanted a quick play at the park on the way home and then it was back to the van to start schoolwork. It was a very slow day with the books but we were all e...

Woke up several times over night as the kids had wriggled out of their sleeping bags and were cold. Instead of pulling their covers back up they rocked and groaned until I got up to do it for them!! 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...

Woke to another beautiful sunny day and had a coffee outside watching the kangaroos before beginning the breakfast marathon. After showers we began schoolwork and then had an early lunch before going off to explore. We drove out to Berrara first which was fairly suburban but kangaroos were sitting in everyone's garden so it was a fun place to drive around! We also took a cruise around Sussex Inlet, a very pretty town with canals everywhere and then Milton, a f...

Woke up early as it was freezing despite the sun shining. Packed up the van and was just about finished when Doris and Joerg showed up to say goodbye. Instead of unpacking the coffee machine we drove to Mogo, a historic mining town about 15 minutes away. We walked the small main street, which was full of art galleries, gifts and clothes and stopped at a café and ice cream shop. Doris bought the kids all an ice cream while we had a coffee with scones and ja...
