South Coast Trip - continued

Huskisson

Huskisson is one of my favourite places on the South Coast.  It is situated on the shores of the spectacular Jervis Bay, 24 kms south-east of Nowra.  Huskisson is named after William Huskisson, the Secretary of the Colonies and Leader of the British House of Commons from 1827-28.

The main street is full of cafes, takeaway shops, boutiques, dive shops and places where cruises can be booked and, central to everything, is a large waterfront hotel - the Husky Pub.

The crystal blue waters of Jervis Bay are home to abundant marine life, including bottle nose dolphins, fur seals, little penguins and, of course, the humpback whales on their migratory trips up and down the coast.  The mother whales like to bring their young calves into the calm waters of the bay so they can spend some time building up their strength, before they continue on their journey.
