Day 26 – The Lighthouse
The day dawned bright and clear, so it was time to go out and explore Jervis Bay. I got it into my head to check out the local bouldering problems. These proved to be a little challenging for me.
Nonetheless, the coastline there was spectacular.
We took a walk up to look at the nearby ruins of a lighthouse from the 1860’s. Who says Australia has no ruined castles?
At this point, the weather turned rather bad. Seems fair, given how much rain we’ve dodged lately. We packed up our soggy camper and left a little early. Jervis Bay is a beautiful spot, just less fun in a rain storm.
At this point we decided to put our foot down for Sydney. Only stopping briefly in Kiama for (excellent) coffee and gluten-free treats, we gunned it up the Pacific highway. We set up in the Lane Cove River Tourist Park, which is a national park pretending to be a caravan park. Tomorrow should see us wandering around The Rocks and admiring the Opera House.
