Huskisson beach illuminated by the moon

 
A slow moving lightning storm eased it’s way across the bay last night.
The moon was out illuminating the beach but shrouded occasionally by clouds drifting by.
I took a couple of time exposures looking back at Huskisson caravan park and across the bay

Rock pool exploration

You don’t even have to enter the water to see some of natures wonders.
carefully look around the rock pools when it’s calm and at low tide and you might be lucky enough to see one of our local Sea anemones'
(Oulactis Anemone) but be careful and keep an eye out for the Blue Ringed Octopus, small, but very, very deadly.
I have only seen a couple in all my years of picking amongst the rocks, rare but you may come across one so be careful and don’t play with or pick them up.

Booderie National Park

Located in the beautiful Booderie National Park is a place called Stony Creek…it’s an enclosed natural rock pool that can be enjoyed by all.
one end is slightly open to the ocean but the reef along the eastern end offers good protection for the snorkelers and swimmers.
Of course care must be taken, you are dealing with mother nature after all.
Make sure the conditions are right before doing anything close to the water or ocean.
The scenery around this part of the coast is breathtaking, you can get maps of all the walking trails from the park visitors centre on the way into the park.
Or from the Lady Denman Museum.

Mangrove Board Walk

 

When your at the Museum take a leisurely walk along the Mangrove Boardwalk, it winds it’s way right out to the river.
If your quiet you may see all manner of critters.
this day I snapped a couple of our locals hanging around the pylons.

Jervis Bay summer sunrise

Cape St George Lighthouse

The skill and hard work is surely evident when you visit this amazing piece of local maritime history.
It’s located with the Booderie National Park.
Stop at the information centre as you go into the park for directions.
it’s well worth the effort..

The Notorious visits the Bay

This amazing little ship dropped into the bay for shelter after weathering some decent swell and winds while heading south back to it’s home port of Port Fairy for Xmas 2013.

'NOTORIOUS' is a recreaton of a 1480's caravel, researched, designed and constructed by Graeme Wylie. The ten year project used 300 tons of reclaimed timber. 'NOTORIOUS' was launched in February 2011 at Port Fairy.
