Playing golf and bushwalking on the trip to Eden

We spent a lifetime bushwalking, but long hikes are no longer an option. Now, we embrace golf, using a cart but walking as much as we can before hopping back in. On our way to the wonderful South Coast, we paused at Bald Hill, dazzled by the sight of hang gliders gracefully soaring through the sky.

Jervis Bay

We love Jervis Bay for its pristine white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and diverse range of marine life. Behind the shores, fantastic walking trails weave through the landscape. In Booderee National Park, we enjoyed a beautiful hike to the Botanical Garden. To our surprise, our NSW National Park Pass wasn’t valid. Why? Because the park lies within the Jervis Bay Territory and is actually part of the ACT!

We enjoyed the area’s natural beauty while bushwalking along the beautiful shoreline and at the white beaches at Jervis Bay. The view of the turquoise waters is just breathtaking.

Jervis Bay has five beautiful beaches. The famous beach is Hyams Beach having the whitest sand in the world, it’s perfect for swimming and relaxing.

At the end of the boardwalk, there is a place where anglers can clean fish. Outside in the water, the birds and seals fight over the scraps thrown into.

We loved playing golf at the Pambula-Merimbula 27-hole championship golf course. We have never seen so many kangaroos on any other golf course. Then, at dusk, the club runs wildlife tours with their golf buggies. Don't worry about the danger signs of snakes, but be aware that you could be eaten by the mozzies (mosquitos).

Finally, after 600 km, we reached Eden, the most southerly town in New South Wales. We explored the deep water port and had a nice lunch before returning.
