Day 111 – Crusing the coast to sea all the different fins

Get up for a speedy coffee and lovingly made porridge by Dave

This motel charges 10 bucks every 10 minutes your late to check out… ouch, let’s bounce!

We’ve got to get out anyways – to the car and drive about 30 mins down the road to the seaside village of Huskisson

Quickly park and dash to Jervis Bay Wild, on the waterfront, to board our boat

We’re on a Dolphin Cruise to spot some wild Dolphins in the bay ????

One of the crew is jaunty with us while we wait for our coffees to get on

This tour is 1.5 hours and takes us South in the bay to Plankton Point

They don’t feed them or have sonar so we need to peel our eyes; they have around 90 resident Bottle-Nosed Dolphins in the area

No luck here so we go around the bay on their route and we find a giant pod!

There’s about 20 in this group and it even includes the newest addition to the area, a 3 or 4 week old ????

They enjoy playing hide and seek with us and ride the bow several times before we have to head back

We go via Callala Beach and reef where they put a “boom net” down – this is where you can get in a net at the back while the boat pulls you along, like a cold, salty jacuzzi

We meet land again and head to World Famous Fish & Chips Huskisson for two Hoki and chips

We walk to the end of the high street to Huskisson Park and get a sneaky peak of Shark Net Beach before going back to the car

Drive South for under an hour takes us to Bendalong Point

It has Boat Harbour Beach which is notorious for Sting Rays coming to the shore

Very luckily, we see more than a handful of Eagle Rays, including a Blue-Spotted one, and a Sting Ray the size of a double mattress!!

After playing with them, we pop round the corner to look in the rock pools and then to the other corner, called Bendelong Point, which takes us to Washerwomans Beach

Back in the car we go further South down the coast where we pass through a little town called Milton and it’s incredibly quaint – most of the buildings are from the 1800s

We make it to Ulladulla where we stop to collect some travel liquids briefly

It’s only a little further down the coast and we’re at Bawley Point

Here, there’s Cormorant Beach – there were a reasonable amount but not crazy like we were hoping for

You can see one here, bottom left, drying his feathers after a dip

We continue round the rocks to the left of the beach and find somewhere called Guillotines Surf Break – you certainly have to be brave and a bit stupid to surf here, the waves are enormous!

Back to the car and head to our place to stay for the night: Argyle Motor Inn is in Batemans Bay

Very adorable little seaside town with calm waters and great views

After checking in and freshening up, we stro by the water to Sam’s Pizza

They have Peroni on tap! We of course have a large one each and have two pizzas to share

“Prosciutto” and “Bee Sting”

Sun goes down and everything here shuts pretty early so head back to ours for an early night
