Good job you werent making your way down there yesterday

Big storm happening right now.. The water in the bay is brown but it was still refreshing for a quick dip. Yes spoke to friends at Shoalhaven Heads yesterday and they said the weather was diabolical.

Does Vincentia have the two kind of beaches - first one where you wade out to a sand bank and the second beach - I remember getting dumped and being tossed around like clothes in a washing machine as the waves were quite big - that would have been in the early 1990's.

May have dredged it possible

Google it and find out.

Water was quite choppy with the on shore wind but didn't notice a sand bar, didn't go out to far as the water was quite murky. Going to check it out more tomorrow .

Yeah it is .Husky is so busy now but as we are a couple of km out of town we enjoy the best of it .We drink at the bowlo as it less busy
Enjoy yourselves

Thanks, yes Husky looked totally busy as we drove through, so quiet where we are staying just a bit further down the road, so peaceful. Going to drive a bit further and check out Scottish Rocks tomorrow.

Just got back from Vietnam. Have shared my experiences elsewhere but I had a positive experience this time around. Would recommend Quy Nhon to all (my father in-law's hometown) as there's a massive beach promenade with restaurants...etc and it's far more accessible than much of Vietnam (i.e. you can cross the roads and use the footpaths).

For mid-year travel I'm heading to Nippon to see my daughter. Happy to catch-up for a frothie and watch Easts play a bit of footy if anybody happens to be visiting Fukui prefecture around about that time (another place I highly recommend).

Maybe Italy at the end of the year? Just need to convince one of my cousins (who speaks much better Italian than me + visited with my dad) that she's coming along too.

Oi and when's RWB coming back? I know that our friend the coke snorting lawnmower man's attempts at love poetry didn't quite go the was he wanted but IMO we need to find a way forward. If anybody sees her sippin' a latte around Double Bay then please drop in a quick reminder that her travel thread's alive and well. Further, Jizzy's had more than a reasonable dose of John Menadue... the season and some more productive bantz with the old crew couldn't come sooner.

Enjoy . Our home stomping ground for the last 21 years or just outside in Woollamia anyway. Brisbane right now but just bought another block to start the building process. For me Woollamia Husky is home

Husky was so over tun today but the group we are staying with wanted to go in and have coffee and lunch, we decided to just grab a couple of pies from the bakery and left the others to their own devices and we nicked off to Scottish Rocks for a swim, absolutely beautiful spot , hope to get there again tomorrow.

The pies were pretty decent, wouldn't say they were the best i have ever had but still pretty good, maybe a little bit salty, i had just a plain chunky beef one and a chicken and vegetable one.
The group wanted to go into Husky again on the Sunday for breakfast, the markets were on at the sports ground, i have been to the markets before probably about 8-9 years ago and before that probably 20 years ago, they hadn't changed , pretty crap overall. Had breakfast at Angels Bayside cafe and it was very nice although they did mix one breakfast up but they quickly rectified it, one of the girls didn't like her scrambled eggs as she didn't think they were cooked enough to her liking, i tried some and they were perfect, this person is just fussy and likes everything over cooked beyond salvation, she had lamb and steak the night before on the BBQ and wanted it cremated, in my opinion her steak was completely ruined the way she wanted it cooked and then she was commenting on everyone else's meat being under cooked because there was some pink in it .

Had a great time there, nice and laid back at Vincentia but i do think Husky is very busy now , was making the comment driving back how nice Jervis Bay is but you have to drive through the hole that is Nowra to get there.

Yes markets used to be better when in the park across from Angels but your right are very average. My wife actually like her for cooked to within a inch of its life but for me medium rare is the go .We call the Shoalhaven a dohnut . Husky Vincentia Berry , and such the cream around the outside AND NOWRA THE HOLE IN THE MIDDLE . Hopefully a bypass one day as the new bridge does bugger all . Our new place is 4500m2 3km out of toHusky so best of both worlds. Just need 18mths to build it .

Yes about Nowra being the hole in the middle. You are right about the new bridge doing sweet FA, it needs a complete bypass around it and the money they are spending or wasting on the new bridge could have gone into the by pass instead. The trip down and back was great until you came to a screaming halt at Nowra. The Albion Park by pass is excellent, was the first time i had traveled on it and the duplication of the highway from the Berry by pass to Bomaderry is great but as soon as you hit Bomaderry everything goes to mush.

Funny we have been up North for almost a year while waiting to find the right block to build or house . Thought it would be 3 months . Great in winter but crap in summer . Looks like we will be down south for winter but this year as friend have asked us to house sit for 3 months .
