I wake up to discover the delights of Jervis Bay are on my doorstep. This large, sheltered bay combines snow-white sand, crystalline waters and playful dolphins. So I spend the morning exploring the White Sands Walk on the shores of Jervis Bay. From Greenfield Beach I head south passing the white sands and clear water of Chinamans Beach. I am treated to incredible water views at various points along the track and caught glimpses of dolphins bobbing by... From Chinamans Beach, I head through Hyams Beach to reach its famous beach - allegedly the World's whitest beach. I then return to Harrison along Scribbly Gum Track which takes me away from the coastline, through tall coastal forest and woodland, finishing back at Greenfield Beach picnic area.
Driving northwards to Central Tilba, a National Trust village in the shadow of Gulaga (formerly called Mt. Dromedary). The village has remained virtually unchanged since it was a gold-mining boom town. Cafes and craft shops fill the heritage buildings. At the end of Bate Street is the Dromedary Hotel, a gorgeous old country pub dating from 1895. It is here that I finish the day enjoying their own Drom Ale and scoffing some tasty pub grub.
