Cruisin’
We chugged slowly out of Huskisson, expecting a gentle speed of a few knots to be the standard. But once past the buoys, the skipper revved up the three outboards, the bow rose, and we took off at a cracking pace. Before long we slowed again, pulling in behind the dolphin viewing vessels. We spotted […]
Wings and Wombats
We headed away from the coastline, and inland to Nowra, to pay a visit to the Fleet Air Arm Museum (ie the Navy’s Aviation arm). A very impressive hangar style building showcases the history of Australian Naval fixed wing and helicopter operations throughout the 20th century, beginning with a Sopwith Pup and progressing through the […]

Captains Point was chosen as the site for a Royal Australian Naval College in 1911, with the first graduates in 1916. It […]

Fittingly, the White Sands Walk connects a string of beaches along the curve of the bay, from Plantation Point to Hyams Beach. We chose Green Point Beach as our starting point for an out and back walk; the beach was our first […]

As always, just click on any image to see it enlarged. Another short trip to use up bookings made in 2021, and unrealised. We deferred this one until after the summer school holidays. After such a wet spring, we were wondering what the weather would hold in store, but its been a hot start to […]
