Ontem fomos dormir tarde encontramos alguns amigos que fizemos aqui na Australia pessoas que de alguma forma fizeram parte de nossa historia nesses quatro anos em Sydney.

No dia anterior sabado 1 http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/New-South-Wales/Jervis-Bay/blog-380133.html We headed north from Ulladulla on Thursday hoping to stay at Greenpatch in Booderee National Park. However the camp ground was booked out over the weekend it was expected to warm up on Saturday so we had to look for somewhere else to stay. We rang a few places in Huskisson and Woollamia but ended up staying at Myola Tourist Park on the northern side of the bay.We drove up through the Bay o http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/New-South-Wales/Jervis-Bay/blog-377955.html Here are some of the pictures from Brett's sister Megan's wedding. Brett was best man for Dusty and I was maid of honour... or I guess matron of honour but that sounds a little funny and old...After a few days of drizzly grey weather the day of the wedding managed to keep dry with only a little drizzle just after the ceremony. But all in all the weather held so everyone was thankful for that. Th http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/New-South-Wales/Jervis-Bay/blog-374755.html Well it's been a whirlwind couple of weeks since we left Crescent Head... The day we left the central coast of NSW we drove through Sydney stopping at the airport to pick up Brett's sister Megan and her boyfriend Dusty who flew in from South Korea for their wedding over here on February 14th. They arrived on a beautiful Sydney day to sun and blue sky and temperatures in the low 30's. Much bett http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/New-South-Wales/Jervis-Bay/blog-374449.html This is a little blog we would like to share with just a select few who will get the joke. The story goes that we had such a lovely Christmas down at Callala which I am told is your average Christmas in NSW. From just chilling out to swimming at the beach letting your hair down and a little game of cricket here and there.Everyone should try a sunny Chrimbo in sunny down under.... http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/New-South-Wales/Jervis-Bay/blog-366622.html Hi AllMerry Christmas to all we hope you all had just as good a time as we did..

I http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/New-South-Wales/Jervis-Bay/blog-355746.html Wonderful Jervis Bay on the bike Recently a trip to Jervis Bay on my motorcycle via Kangaroo Valley and the Southern Highlands in wonderful weather was the highlight of the bike trips I have done the last months. Jervis Bay with its white sandy beaches was the highlight of the weekend trip. We stayed there overnight in a nice campsite right on the beach.Dolphin Watch Cruises50 Owen Street. Huskis http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/New-South-Wales/Jervis-Bay/blog-345689.html Jervis Bay is a pretty special place. It's got offically the whitest sand in the world stunning blue water a resident population of bottle nosed dophins sea eagles and in the winter humpback whales. Forget exactly how big they said it was but it was one of those stats involving how many times you could fit Sydney harbour into it. It was about three and a half times or something so big by http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/New-South-Wales/Jervis-Bay/blog-266880.html In de loop van zaterdag zijn we in Jervis Bay aangekomen wel even zoeken naar een dorpskern en visitor's centre....

We drove halfway back to Wollongong stopping in Cresecent Head for a night and then made our way to Brett's aunt and uncles Shelly and Dennis' place yet again.

Since I didn't know where exactly the hostel was I trusted the bus driver and he dropped me off in the wrong village and I had to search without finding the hostel.

We left from the Central train station at noon which ended up being more like 1245 and that basically set the tone for the weekend. We had to drive down to Wollongong which is like 1 hours south of Sydney to pick up people there and then got down to Jervis Bay around 4 http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/New-South-Wales/Jervis-Bay/blog-211329.html
