Jervis Bay

Shortly after the Brisbane debacle a few of us had a long weekend down in Vincentia at Jervis Bay. Christine and Sneaky Pete sorted out the house and Paul and Juddi Judd also joined us.

We managed to get a bit of snorkeling in as well as some geocaching and we also had time to head down to Washerwomans Beach at Bendalong Point to visit the friendly stingrays.

Although clearly designed to keep 5-year-olds amused, the geocaching adds a bit of fun to any place that you go. It's amazing just how many of these secret caches are hidden all over the place and without the phone app you just wouldn't have a clue.

Last year there were a load of smaller Eagle Rays at Bendalong but this time there were only a handful of animals. However, one of them was a real monster!

On the way back up to Sydney we stopped at Gerroa to look for octopuses in the rock pools. There are always octopuses in the rock pools there and this time was no exception.
