Got to sleep ok, but then awake a few times for ages.
We'd decided that we'd probably wander around the Jervis Bay area and were getting ready when Andrew messaged us and said he was hoping to go flying the rest of the week and could we come to HARS today. Sure. So got ready for that instead. Agreed on about 12:30.
Out the door around 10:05. We had plenty of time so went wandering along the coast to points the sweetie marked out.
We drove along Riverside Drive along the Mirramurra River first up to try and reproduce a photo of Dad's from 1960. Trees.
Went out to Mirramurra next and had a bit of a look at the coast from the whale watching point.
Drove through "new" Shellharbour out to Bass Point with its views to Port Kembla.
Also looked at the memorial to the soldiers that died rescuing people off the Cities Service Boston which ran aground there in 1943.
And a quick look at the Bushrangers Bay viewpoint which had a lovely view of trees and glimpses of the bay.
Then back through Shellharbour and had a look at Shellharbour Harbour.
And finally a look at Reddall Reserve. Pelicans!!
Then we messaged Andrew that we were on our way and headed for HARS - the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society museum. Andrew was able to give us a private tour which was wonderful. They had the 747 powered up which was super cool. And got to go on Connie and few other planes. Did you know Connie never actually few for Qantas? In the end spend two and a quarter hours going around, probably a lot longer than if we'd done a tour with anyone else, so that was very cool. Had a quick look at the models and memorabilia before heading back to the motel.
At the motel I got changed and went out for a wander.
First up to the cutting to reproduce a photo of Dad's from 1960.
Then out to the blowhole which wasn't blowing very much. And while it was sunny when we got back to the motel, it had clouded over again so nothing great photowise.
Went back to the motel then got ready to go out again. By the time we got outside there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Sigh.
Met up with Andrew for dinner at Warilla Bowls club, which was all very pleasant. I had calamari and Stu had a chorizo and prawn skewer that was pretty epic. Talked mostly about flying hehe.
Then back to the motel to crash.
