beets Says: Markets at Huskisson every second Sunday of the Month. Held at the main oval. It is easy to get to and close to the main strip of the town. You can find plants, food, and all sorts of nick nacks. All super cheap!
iandsmith Says: You may well ask what the Duke of Wellington and the Liverpool to Manchester railway has to do with this town, so far removed from either. It so happens that the village was named after William Huskisson, secretary of the colonies and House of Commons leader for two years...
iandsmith Says: The Bay itself is around 15km long and 10km wide. Its depth of 27 metres means it is probably the deepest sheltered harbour in Australia. The pristine waters are remarkably clean and the colours range from aquamarine to a deep blue. The fauna and the flora are diverse. There...
iandsmith Says: This is one of a number of access points to the ocean in Booderee National Park. Stoney Creek is an area where you can park and walk down a few steps to the creek shown here and this leads to the ocean.There's an area where you can fish off the rocks here as well.It's all...
iandsmith Says: I love this, a tale of bureaucracy gone mad.Someone decided that a lighthouse was required back in the mid 19th century, a decision reached due to the number of wrecks that were occurring.So, someone wrote out where it should be located. Off went a party to build said...
iandsmith Says: And while you're there, don't forget to check out the rock pools, you never know what you might see. For example, this delightful anenome flashing its colours in the wintry sun.
iandsmith Says: Jervis Bay is a great place to unwind and get your batteries recharged. One of the ways to do this is to partake in any one of several seaside strolls. Just walking along listening to the lapping of the small waves or venturing out onto the rocks will take your cares...

Honeymoon Bay Camping area: A well maintained camping area
unravelau Says: We were day visitors and in any case you can only camp on Friday and/or Saturday nights.Considering how isolated the place is, there were quite a few campers using the facilities.

Was a service station in Jevis bay.
What to buy: I was looking for gas for a bbg.
What to pay: Was a rip off at $30 a refill compared with $15 in sydney. So make sure you don't run out of gas and if you do, get one of your white friends to buy gas cause if you look like you are from out of town they will rip you off.

I am sure that this point would attract the most visitors. It was a little hazy and I am not the best photographer but I am sure that most people would love to have a photo like this in their album.

If you go to honeymoon bay, and you want to stay over night on the Friday/Saturday nights, you will not be able to light a fire. I am beginning to understand why the gate attendants were laughing.
Had we been honeymooners, it may not have been such a hardship anyway....they would have had one another to keep themselves warm.
What they suggest is that you take gas cooking equipment. You would need to forward plan your trip because camping is offered by a ballot system and occasionally the area is closed for naval exercises.

The old lighthouse keeper accommodation
unravelau Says: A magnificent old place. I can only imagine what it must have been like for the keeper and his family so many years ago tending the light.
Lighthouse History is a whole new (old) world.
unravelau Says: http://www.lighthouse.net.au/liGhTS/Bulletin/0509/illw.htmAn interesting article which gives a lot of information about Point perpendicular Lighthouse and others around the world. It is not like I would miss it if I never saw it again but it was definitely a highlight for...

Forty odd years ago, I distinctly remember visiting here as well as the other beautiful scenic spots dotted along the east coast of Australia. To-day, the lighthouse doesn't look that much different...
