For the last 2 weeks of our vacation we have been 3 hrs south of Sydney in an area called Jervis Bay. We were looking for a different experience than Noosa and we sure got it down here. We are in a tiny little town called Vincentia with one gas station & one grocery store. There are a few other towns around us within a few Kms so we are not too remote.
The main place we have been hanging out is an amazing beach called Hyam's Beach. We are told it is in the Guiness book of world records for having the whitest sand in the world.
 |
| Hyam's beach - not bad, eh?! |
 |
| Thankfully the weather has sorted itself out & we have been able to enjoy our new surroundings! |
|
|
| Hyam's is a very popular beach. Lots of looky-loo's come just to check out the famous sand |
|
The sand lives up to its reputation. It looks like snow sometimes and it's blinding without your shades on
The water is stunning here too - so clear and only small waves (no surfers here)
|
|
Kalyssa is having a blast in the little waves
|
|
| There are some rocks at one far end of the beach which are fun to explore, looking for fish, shells etc |
 |
| Tilman has been loving the sand here too, playing in it since day 1 but wasn't interested in it when we were up north. |
The sand feels like cornstarch & when you walk on it, it makes a squeeking sound (the sound has actually been the case for all of Australia - so strange the first time you step out in it!)
 |
| With the calm waves here, Tilman has also been interested in the water. We make a little 'pool' in the sand at the edge of the waves - they both love it! |
 |
| The seagulls have provided a lot of entertainment to both kids. Kalyssa loves to chase them & Tilman loves to watch them. |
