We stayed at the Holiday Inn at Sydney airport and set off to collect our hire car. After going around the houses a bit we picked up the car just down the road from the hotel. A white Suzuki Swift and white seems to be a very popular car colour in OZ.
The traffic lights in the Sydney area are just awful and cause no end of problems. The Sydney traffic is quite bad but not London standards and if the traffic lights were this bad in London then nothing would move.
However, we eventually cleared the Sydney area and it was plain sailing down past Wollangong and along the NSW coast.
Again it was very hot and as soon as we arrived at Jervis Bay we went down to Hyams Beach for a lovely swim. According to the Guiness book of records, the sand at Hyams is the whitest in the world. We are not sure about that but it was certainly very beautiful?
We were expecting the area to be very busy since its Australia Day tomorrow and Monday is a Bank Holiday. The area around Jervis Bay is a favourite holiday and weekend playground for Sydneyites.
However, it's not currently very busy and as you will see from the photos the beaches are not exactly crowded.
After checking in to our hotel and we walked down through Huskisson village and swam again at Huskisson beach which was just as lovely. Big waves and lots of fun.
Dinner was booked at the Gunyah restaurant at the Paperbark Camp, Wollamia which is in the bush just outside of Husky. It was great; perched high above the ground and well below the canopy of gum trees, we had a great view into the bush. The food was terrific and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening and even saw a Kangaroo on our way back.
