We arrived in Jervis Bay as the sun was setting so we decided to take a walk around the campsite (along the beach) to stretch our legs after many hours in the car. We made some dinner in the van that night, ate outside and then got into bed. We were both pretty exhausted from all the driving over the past couple of days so it was nice to have an early night.
The next morning we woke up with a plan to walk along the coast to the whitest beach in the world (as said in the World Guinness Book of Records). It was nice to not have to pack up the bed and rush off in the morning, so we could eat our breakfast outside and take our time a bit.
The walk from Huskisson (where our campsite was) to Hyams Beach (whitest beach) was 6 miles and took us around 2 hours. We didn’t actually realise it was this long before we started the walk. The whole walk was along the coast which made the views very beautiful. We stopped along the way to have some lunch which we had pre-made (saving that money!!).
We finally arrived at the beach, both our legs were aching but we definitely felt like we had achieved something! The beach was beautiful, the sand was so white and the sea had so many different colours within it. We laid on the beach for a couple of hours before having to head back on the 6 mile walk back to Hussiskon.
Once we arrived back at the campsite we were both exhausted and felt like we had ran a marathon! It was a long day but really nice to do some exercise as we had both been in the van for 2 days straight. We definitely deserved our steak dinner that night which we bought on the way back to the campsite! We played some cards that evening and had a reasonably early night as we were up and out early the next day.
The following day we packed up the camper, made some sandwiches and off we went to our next exciting destination. We were absolutely buzzing for the next place we were travelling to and could not contain our excitement. Next stop … S Y D N E Y!!!
Adventure Awaits...
