The Basin, Cabbage Tree Creek

 Cabbage Tree Creek runs into the Shoalhaven River just west of Nowra. 

A short 4.4klm return walk down a fire trail from next to the recycling centre.  A very hot and humid day under the cloud cover.  I wanted to check out if I could beach here when kayaking. Yes I can.

Easy walking down through open forest. Not many birds today but a nice Lace Monitor watched as I went past.

A nice easy walk down before a steep drop down to the river flats and along under the cliffs. The Basin opens up where the freshwater comes over the waterfall and into the saltwater tributary of the Shoalhaven River. Not a lot of water coming over today.

The river flats a very weedy but beauty can be found anywhere.

Kangaroo River Trail

My knee had been playing up again so I was looking for an easy flat walk to give it a try out. Not as flat as I remembered, the 8klm return walk on the Kangaroo River Trail in Morton National Park seemed like a good option. 

A pretty walk downhill from the Tallowa Dam Road brings you out opposite Beehive Point at the junction of the Kangaroo River and Yarrunga Creek

Booderee Day Trip

A day trip down to Booderee National Park to see the whales.

First stop at Iluka Beach for a cuppa and a walk on the white sands.

Then up to St Georges lighthouse ruins to see some whales. Plenty going past but all a long way from shore. 

Nice views down to Moes Rocks 

New Holland Honeyeater posing perfectly on the cliff edge 

After a late lunch at Bristol Point we had a walk out to Hole in the Wall. 

And then on to Murrays Beach and Governors Head lookout in the last light. 

Another beautiful day 

Currarong to Home

After our 2 night stay in Currarong it was time to head slowly home. 

A quick stop at Bulls Hole in Jervis Bay National Park for views up and down Warrain Beach.

North to Kinghorn Point

South to Currarong 

Then a coffee stop at a cafe on the Crooked River at Gerroa. 

Lunch at Kiama on the Harbour for great fish and chips 

And then a short walk at Minnamurra Rainforest in Budderoo National Park 

Jambaroo Lookout as we climbed the escarpment back to Bundanoon. 

A nice 3 day break
