Just arrived in Huskisson (above-obviously happy to be here), Jervis Bay, today and set up our camper (haven't we done that before?) and got back online with phones and computer. I think we are doing a good job now of setting up and packing up but it still takes at least an hour and we always forget at least one thing! Anyway the bay here is gorgeous (saw a few dolphins swimming around) and tomorrow we are going for an early surf down to Blackrock, the home of Ausssie Pipe, and then coming back for the Easter carnival in Huski. We went for a bike ride tonight, Arch is on his new bike he bought with his birthday money in Batemans Bay yesterday, saw a lady walking 2 huskies in Huski, and tried roasting 2 chooks in our gasmate barbee which worked a treat and along with Joan's roast vegies we decided that was our best meal on tour so far.
We are not actually in Merry Beach for Easter but our last 4 days there have made us very merry. Merry Beach was sensational with a beach front camping site-
Nice little window view from the annex. Merry Beach had amazing wildlife- kangaroos, every type of bird, bats, lizards and great snorkelling, had fun waves, warm water, we had campfires at night, and great scenic walks.
We also had a bike ride which was way too hard for the boys with continuous uphill sections and we didn't know where we were going, got 5 km in and I had to go back for the car. I speared a fish for dinner but it was disgusting. We did photography lessons with Wooz and did some creative shots in the sand, and some quality shots of the handsome young Nathanial. We hiked up Mt Durras from Pebbly beach completing our second summit in less then a week but it killed us because it was a lot longer then what we thought and there were no f*#&in views at the top. We all went sugar flat and sped to Batemans Bay in the car for pancakes and milkshakes OMG. Nathanial lost his scooter, but he did a great job of trying to sell Archer's old bike. A log from the fire one night landed on Joan's leg, Wooz was trying to catch crabs and crushed his hand with a rock and E fell over walking down Mt Durras and hit his knee on a rock (Iron Man didn't flinch though). E took a great shot of a sea eagle too above Pretty Beach, not a bad effort with one dodgey eye.
