Day 25 - Jervis bay

We left her place at 3.30pm and we drove to Jervis bay, which took us 2hrs. Once there we faced an entry of the national park where the employee told us that there was no available camp site left. We decided not to stay at Jervis Bay but just had a look at Hyams Beach, renowned for its whitest sand in the world. We tried to camp at the next national park but it was a public holiday, consequently the place was very crowded, even though there was a 10kms drive on an unsealed road! Finally we decided to camp inland, closer to Canberra. We drove at night in a scary forest in the middle of nowhere, with an almost empty tank and a heavy tiredness. We could not find the camp and decided to keep going a bit further, to stop anywhere we could settle down the tent – a rest area was ideal if we had enough petrol to get there. Finally we made it and went to bed as soon as possible. The rest area was amazingly packed with campers, because it was close to a natural reserve.
