We bade adieu to the Eurobodalla and extended our march further march into the state of New South Wales. Enroute, we stopped for a quick pizza in the magical little town of Uladullah before resuming on our journey on a tarmac that runs parallel to the “Humpback highway” – so called as thousands of humpback whales on their northern migration, dash through the waters of the region. Our run, however, ceased on reaching the town of Jervis Bay; an oceanic bay town in the south of NSW; home to the most intense turquoise blue waters you would ever see, stunning white sand beaches, Dolphins, Humpback whales and a lot more. The region is extremely popular with scuba divers as there are about 30 spectacular underwater caves across the bay.

The Jervis bay area is made of a string of stunning seaside villages. The 19th century village of Huskisson founded on the wooden shipbuilding industry, is the gateway to Jervis Bay, it embodies an incrediblly festive, uplifting and a lively spirit and has a pristine harborside. There are numerous eateries, bars, boutiques and umpteen entertainment options here. Further along the bay is the town of Vincentia, a more residential colony and our temporary abode. The accommodation options in the area are gorgeous ranging from holiday homes and hotel rooms that overlook the bay. Our evening was at the Huskisson harbor; a sundowner, live music, cool breeze. Perfect !

Day 11 

After grabbing a quick breakfast, we made our way to the falls creek where we got on to a yatch that we had hired for a day long expedition, as we went sailed off across the straight on to the ocean , getting a perspective of the sublime bay, from the ocean side.

We spotted many pods of Dolphins on our sailing, enjoyed a dip in crystal clear waters, while basking in some sun on the decks of the yatch. During the day, we had spotted a pod of playful dolphins over the horizon; moments later we realised one of them was swimming besides our yatch and then she made her way to the front side and started swimming in front of us. Soon, one more joins in, followed by another and the next thing we know, the entire pod was there. The dolphins were so playful – twisting, turning, jumping in the waters, so full of life. There was magic in the waters below us and on the deck as well – the kids were in a frenzy; there was so much emotion here; it was a festival.

It was a such a beautiful, magical and soulful day.

Day 12

After a hearty breakfast at the harbour side of the village of Huskisson , we ferried our way to the quaint little town of Myola. The bluest waters and the whitest beaches of the continent are here and in my opinion, this is Australia’s best kept secret. The bay is pristine, far from the bustle of the tourists around the corner.

At a stone’s thrown from Myola is the Callala beach; aqua blue waters and white sand; simply stunning. We had got us some wood fired pizza’s from the café around. The first half of the day was at the beach for us followed by a picnic lunch here. A slice of paradise.

In the evening, we got ourselves some fishing gear and headed to the nearby Woolamia boat ramp and tried our luck with the rod and the reel for a bit before ; It was fascinating to see an eagle ray, swimming in the shallows here; attempting to do the same thing as us sans the apparatus.

From here, we went on to the village of Vicentia to catch the sunset.
