Nowra was a planned spot as i wanted to find some Columnar Jointed Volcanics [like Fingal Head] so i did a bit of a search around on tourism stuff and google etc with no luck.

I spotted something on Google Maps satellite view so headed out to check it out.

When i looked at the Satellite view i noticed a heap of jumbled rocks at the base of a cliff so headed up to Crookhaven Lighthouse.
It was extremely muddy almost the whole way up, my thongs filled with mud so had to go barefoot to get any traction.

The view from the lookouts showed a rock ledge so i climbed down the cliff and washed the mud off me and headed back along the rock ledge... got a bit hard near the end when i had to scramble over the jumbled boulders with wet thongs on.
