Nowra/Shoalhaven Heads 19/11 to 23/11

After a week in Sydney we headed south and managing to negotiate ourselves through Sydney. Jayne thought she was going home when we followed signs for Liverpool.

















We arrived at a place called Shoalhaven Heads near the town of Nowra, which was next to the river. Whilst we were there the temperature hit 40 degrees. Still it didn’t stop us from playing tennis, if you could really say we were playing tennis, it was a very poor attempt.







Inland it felt hotter and we visited Kangaroo Valley to cool off in the river, but we didn’t see any Kangaroos unfortunately.



















We explored the coast south of Sydney taking in places like Woolongong, Kiama, the Royal National Park and Botany Bay.







Botany Bay was the first landing point of Captain Cook’s ‘Endeavor’ when it discovered Australia. There is not too much fanfare at the site but we took a few pictures of the first landing point. It’s hard to imagine how Botany Bay looked in 1770 as now its flanked by the airport and industry, but it was strange to think that you may be walking in the steps of our forefathers !
