Sydney day 5 - Road trip adventure

It's gonna be exciting today. We rented a car for our road trip adventure. Our plan is to explore south of syndey. Not too far south as we are pretty sure that the kids will not stand a long journey.
From Pennant Hills, we drove to Kiama which is about 150km south. Due to the speed limit (40-100km/h) we are not able to 1.5 hours like in Malaysia. After several stops, we finally arrived Kiama at 2.30pm (2.5hrs).


Buckle up kids!!

 
The view is magnificent!! Kiama is actually famous for the Kiama Blowholes. Due to the special  rock formation by the beach plus a strong wind, the sea water can spray up high, sometimes up to 30m (or more). Unfortunately for us, the sea was too calm today so we didn't get to see any water spray from the blowhole.


We made it!!


Thats the hole.. but it's not blowing today as the weather is too nice. The wind must be strong enough to push the sea water into the undersea cave and when another wave comes,the water will shoots up

The love of my life at Kiama :)
Then we continue to Jervis Bay to check in at JB Caravan Park. We've booked a cabin earlier to ensure our accommodation for the night. We arrived at the campsite (Wooloomia Rd) at about 630pm. Just nice for prayer :)


Introducing our comfy cabin at Jervis Bay Caravan Park
It's our first time actually renting a cabin and we were truly amazed with the nature and facilities in JB Caravan Park. Inside the cabin there are 1 queen bed and 4 single beds. cooking facilities are also available.


Complete facility
Around the park is a breathtakingly beautiful river.. or was it an estuary. Because we say a huge stingray and the was a signboard 'do not harm the octopus'. But we didn't see any :(
 
That night we drove to JB downtown and Vincentia. But at 830pm, everything (except few diners) were closed. Anyhow we got to see a marvelous view of the bay by night.
 
Well, that would end our day 1 of the road trip. It was great!! I'll continue tomorrow. . Nite2
