Jervis Bay and Kiama

Just before our "hiccup" we had spent a lovely week in Jervis Bay exploring the local towns, beaches, and walk ways as well as having fun playing in the waves.  It was funny finding out we were anchored off of Collingwood Beach, as this is a place where I grew up so had to take a picture of the signs to prove it.

Rylee and Oliver enjoyed finding a tree with a knot hole so big they could both fit in it!

Up close and personal with the local bird life in Huskisson....

And Kiama
 And while we were taking a breather, waiting for weather and getting used to a change in pace of life we took in some of the Kiama sights.  We had a good few days there, enjoying the local library, checking out the skate park and the views around the immediate coast.

We also have to acknowledge all the lovely people who were happy to give up there time to help us out, including the couple who dropped off a batch of date scones, the local boaties who organised for us to use moorings in the little harbour and the blokes who drove Dan around to chandleries and fuel stations to ensure we had what we needed to carry on safely.  Also to a lovely couple who welcomed us into their home for a roast meal with sticky date pudding for dessert.  Everyone's well  wishes were greatly appreciated and meant a lot, even though at the time we felt there wasn't much anyone could do. 
 

A bit cold for us to try out the sea side pool in Kiama

 

And the blow hole, but it wasn't at it's most impressive while we were there

 

And a pic for Pop from Oliver!
