So, after a wonderful night up in the Blue Mountains, staying at Lillianfels (thanks guys!!) and eating at Darley's (greaaaat restaurant!) we headed for a coastal getaway! I've always wanted to find the really nice spots on the South Coast so I came up with a plan. Reading the climbing guide for Point Perpendicular, it was mentioned there was camping at Currarong, just south of the Shoalhaven River mouth - so we rocked up about 5 in the afternoon to be rather disappointed, Currarong, it seems, is a complete shithole. So we panicked and drove south, setting camp in the idyllic
Booderee National Park on the southern side of Jervis Bay.

| All in a nice bush setting |
 |
| Lucky for the full moon as we forgot our lantern! |
 |
| ...just a 2 minute walk around the corner and... |
 |
| Beautiful Jervis Bay! Green Patch Beach with an unsettled weather outlook |
 |
| Min Alskling! |
 |
| Oh yeah, Jervis Bay is a RAN base. |
 |
| Your tax dollars hard at work! :D |
 |
| I may need to get a tripod... |
Next day we headed to the south end of the park and met some locals (above) and went for a swim on Bherwerre Beach in absolute isolation!

We then checked out Cave Beach, lovely spot with an even nicer campground which we'll have to stay at next time
 |
| Cave Beach, some surf here too |
We were then joined by Nick & Kristin...
 |
| Ghost Kiss! |
 |
| Beaches at night are always peaceful |
 |
| Headed to the Lighthouse the next day for some sightseeing |
After lunch in the ever charming Nowra, we headed for the hills to escape the searing heat. In the Kangaroo Valley, we found a lovely swimming hole at Flat Rock. Even got to ford a few streams to legitimise our 'soft-roader' :)
We also need to come back here to camp out! With canoes of course... after our dip, we headed up to the Southern Highlands for afternoon tea in Berrima then back home, a great few days escape!
