Our place in Jervis Bay & the last beach day

So we realized that we forgot to post some pictures of the second place we rented in Vincentia.  It was a slighly smaller place with only 2 bdrms.  It was still plenty big enough as Tilman was sleeping in his travel crib beside mom the whole trip anyway.  We didn't have a pool this time but we were just a few meters from the beach.

There were lots of big windows to take in the sunshine or watch the storms!

Nice modern & bright kitchen

The entry ways were open 2 story frosted windows

Main bedroom

lighted stairway that was really the only danger so it was always blocked off from baby access

 

Our last beach day at Hyam's Beach :(

It was a super windy day - too windy for our beach tent.  Thankfully it wasn't too hot out. 

Actually there was quite a difference in temperature between the 2 main regions we stayed in.  The Noosa area was very tropical with even the low temperatures in the mid-twenties but with high humidity, it still felt like over 30 degrees.  The Jervis Bay area wasn't as tropical feeling with lows in the mid-teens and highs in the mid-twenties.  Still warm enough to hang at the beach though!

  You can see just how long the beach is here.  I put Tilman in his carrier and took a long walk all the way to the end so that he could have a nap.  There is an Australian naval base at the far end of the beach which was very cool.

They were doing some drills or something at the naval base & had the helicopter out.  We even saw them drop a bunch of soldiers into the ocean!



Tilman certainly learned to love the sand

There is a small stream flowing into the ocean at Hyam's. Kalyssa loved it & kept trying to go snorkeling in it.

We really loved our time in the Jervis Bay area.  It is a pretty quiet place with not a lot of tourists but had so much to offer.  When driving around the countryside, it reminded us of the Okanagan with the wineries, peaches etc on the rolling hills.
