NSW Road trip

 We planned a 11 day toad trip to Jervis Bay, Dubbo and Hunter region in December 2020. This is a high level of record of where we went and what we did.

Day 1 - Sydney to Jervis Bay

Its a long road trip, so the essentials need to be taken care of. Few kilos of rice, Dhal, spices, two pressure cookers and an induction stove, neatly packed in a large bag.

Reached Jervis bay in three hours. Weather was OK. But the beaches were gorgeous. We took a sunset ride on the creek after we checked in to the hotel.

Day 2: Jervis Bay beaches and airbnb checkin

Woke up, packed snacks, went to the beaches, did a bit of bush walks

checked into airbnb. Wonderful place to stay

Day 3: beaches again, and to nowra - some view point and a bush walk that has a great wooden bridge

made pav bhaji, ate and slept

Day 4: Made breakfast and got ready to a long road trip to dubbo with a stopover at jenolan caves

it was a long drive

and the observatory was closed due to weather. no stars that night!

day 5: dubbo zoo on a bicycle. was hard to cycle uphill carrying the kid

and in the evening...adventure park

day 6 - zoo again, but this time on an electric cart and some time for waterplay

day 7 - drive to hunter and meet friends and some cricket with the kids

day 8 - killed the daytime and went to chirstmas lights in hunter valley garden. amazing display of lights

day 9 - Lots of cricket

Day 10 - Kurri Kurri and good bye to one family and welcome another

Christmas lights again but could not take any additional pictures. But got to eat food in the lights area and it was good.

Day 11 - Balloon and Hunter valley gardens

realised that hunter valley garden is the same as christmas lights, but without the lights (and same entry fee)

THE END.
