Hopping to Jervis bay - Episode 23

From Sydney, we took a few days to explore the beautiful area of Jervis bay. In the Booderee national park we saw Kangaroos, giant shells, stingrays and more... In Huskisson we chased the tidal crabs, and in Hyams beach we admired the white sands. Join us on our tour!

A group of kangaroos "roos" is called a Mob. Wallabies are smaller than a roo. Also Wallabies tend to be seen on their own as roos stay more in packs "mobs".

[@back2backpacking]

Thanks for sharing, we indeed noticed the wallabies are more solitary. Wait for our Alice Springs video, there are lots of the there!

In the late 1960's/ early 1970's Murrays Beach was earmarked to be the site of Australia's first Nuclear Power Station. That's why the carpark is so huge, that was all levelled to be part of the construction site. Fun fact, it was our conservative party that stopped the project.

woo, good thing it never came to be. It is a beautiful piece of land

That tea-brown colour of the water at Huskisson Beach is from the tannins leaching out of dead gum leaves.

[@back2backpacking]

Thanks, good to know it is natural...

And those are definitely dolphins in Callala Bay 🐬. Whales also come into the Bay during migration season, mostly humpbacks.

[@back2backpacking]

Well, look like we need to visit again during the whale season 🙂

[@Merrid67play]

@@back2backpacking You can do dolphin and whale cruises in the bay from Huskisson

[@AdamYates-f1o]

Yep, that was a fiddler ray, completely harmless.

[@back2backpacking]

Thanks, it looked really mean! haha...

[@Merrid67play]

The red and blue birds you saw at Bald Hill were crimson rosellas.

[@back2backpacking]

Wonderful crimson color - thanks!

Roo's that are used to human contact prefer to have their chest's rubbed or scratched than to be patted on the head like a dog.

[@back2backpacking]

Thanks Brad, ill keep that in mind for my next roo encounter!
