Australia 2009 - days 65 to 71 at Nowra and Jervis Bay

Day 65.
We check into our campsite, set up our tent and head out to Hospital Rocks to climb.

Dad climbing with Sofie in her stroller and the Shoalhaven River in the background.













Sofie trying on mums helmet.





















Sofie has started to "talk" and says "MaMa, MaMa, MaMa" all the time. Very funny, but given that we do not call Elvira for MaMa we do not think that it means Mother, but its just her exercising different sounds...

A video of Sofie saying her new MaMa sound.

Day 66.
We climb at Thomsons point, Shoalhaven River.

Dad leading .......

Day 67.
We climb in the morning and then head out to beautiful Jervis Bay.

The view of Point Perpendicular seen from Iluka beach.





Mum and Sofie on the beach near Green patch.















A beautiful (& friendly) Grass Parrot, these birds are wild but one actually landed on mums head.












Sunset on Murray's beach.















Day 68.
We head to Point Perpendicular to check out potential climbs.

The light house at the point.














A view down to the base of the climbs. To climb this crag one needs to rappel down, something mum didn't want to do with Sofie.










We also walked toward the torpedo remains which was very steep going as can be seen in this photo where mum pushes Sofie up hill in her stroller.



















Dad and Sofie with a beautiful view in the background.













Sunset at Honeymoon beach.














Day 69.
Due to rainy weather we decide to do a drive to Fitzroy Falls passing through the lush Kangaroo Valley.

The view of the coast seen from Charlotte's pass.













A Kookaburra at the lookout.

Australia's oldest suspension bridge over the River in Kangaroo Valley.











Days 70 & 71.
