Today's little excursion was a trip to the northern headland of Jervis Bay, the Beecroft Penninsular.
This is the view from Currarong (looking northish).
Currarong beach even had a couple of surfers (learners by the look of it), but I hadn't planned to stop there . . . I had to kill some time before the road opened to take me to my intended destination.
Point Perpendicular Lighthouse.
The old one (built in 1889 and decommissioned in 1993) is much better looking that the new one - a steel tower with a solar powered light.
This is the view across to the southern headland, Cape st George.
Walking through the area I spied a lot of banksias and grass trees (or Blaga - otherwise known as Black Boy trees)
The walk down the track, heading basically west to the Outer Tubes had some spectacular views across Jervis Bay.
And the trees were hiding the birds that twittered and sang, the puddles contained very vocal frogs that I could hear but not see, and the coastline in this area is pretty spectacular.
The area called Outer Tubes - I believe so named for torpedo tubes installed here to protect Jervis Bay during WWII - is now a popular fishing spot.
And at this point my camera was warning me the battery was low, but I needed to get some close ups of the cliffs!
I won't further spam you with photos (taken on my phone) from the antique shop I stopped at on the way home . . . unless you ask!

@katblu42 The one beach in Jervis Bay, NSW, I have been to. March 2007. It was a beautiful white beach with turquoise Pacific Ocean. One thing that was remarkable to me was that the forest went right up to the edge of the beach - something we don’t really have in South Australia. We tend to have heath or sanddunes, or if we did have it, it is now farmland, because I haven’t seen any.
This is a gorgeous corner of Australia and I’m very envious. We also visited Granite Falls, somewhere in the vicinity (I say in the Vicinity because on that holdiay, we did the entire coast between Adelaide and Sydney and I only have vague recollections where things were without a map :D )

What I'm learning from having joined a book club and reading lots of different books I wouldn't have normally picked out for myself, is that your book could be a NY best seller and be pop fluff and people will still read it and talk about it. This is to say I shouldn't be such a perfectionist about my unmarketable book because people who enjoy reading new books might still find it and have something to say about it.
