From Fitzroy Falls we continued south to Kangaroo Valley, where I must report that there was a serious lack of the animal that gave the place its name. It was gorgeous though.
We returned to the coast and our next stop of the day was Jervis Bay National Park. The park was created to protect the unique and endangered plants and animals that live on land and in the water in the region. We completed a short 10 km hike and had lunch at the halfway point on a promontory that stuck out into the middle of the bay.
It was 4:30 in the afternoon by the time we returned to the car. We headed off south again and soon made a stop that turned out to be the highlight of the trip thus far...

Did you get to see any of the huge Aboriginal shell middens that exist at Jervis Bay and in Murramarang? There's a few points where gullies erode through them and they come right down to the beach! If I remember right, there's at least 5k years of accumulation there. If you get into the Hawesbury Range and the Blue Mountains around Katoomba, there's a huge amount of rock art and currently-being-explored rock shelters! Fun fun!
