When i saw the lighthouse i wondered if it was the one from Crookhaven as it looked about the right size... turns out it was!

When i went inside they had cameras everywhere and were setting up for something ... Bloke looked at my Camera and said "Sony or ?" ... when i said "Pentax" he said "its too dark in here, you wont be able to use that !"
I noticed heaps of old blokes in suits were heading in when i left.

Went downtown to the only bakery for lunch ... and its Vegetarian ... Mushroom Pie tasted like crap with the meat looking stuff in a wholemeal pastry.

Had a look at the memorial ... i think its pretty sad that they left room for another plaque :|

I finally got to visit my last Australian Mainland State/Territory ... 'Jervis Bay Territory' ... was a bit disappointed there was no significant sign i could get a pic of, but as its a government thing, you get charged to enter. :lol:

*note: found sign on the way out*

Image

I headed to Green Patch Campground and set up there for the day/night and had a beaut hot shower.

I next did a walk up the beach as "Hole in the Wall Track" sounded like it went somewhere interesting ...

I came across a creek and after scouting around i figured i could jump it at a spot that had a small bank on one side ... i got a big runup, soared through the air across the water, landed on the sand on the other side .... but ... the sand covered seaweed and my boots went straight through it sending up a shower of wet muddy sand up the legs of my shorts and stuck there sending me forward out of my boots landing on my hands and knees still holding my camera and phone ... Doh !!

Spotted these funny tracks and followed then to find this little fella

Headed back to camp for another shower and cooked [ok heated a can] dinner before relaxing in the canopy for the evening.

Funny bit was a on the way out i saw a Diamond Python, it was right across the path and a lady was standing behind her hubby saying look out snake 🐍 i walked in front of it to get a pic, she gasped as it turned around so i walked around to the rear of it to get a pic and she yelled “dont get too close” so i said “whats it gunna do, kick me ?” ….. hubby couldn’t help it and laughed… she punched him 😁
