St Georges Basin






We have just come back from an overnight stay at St Georges Basin. Its down the coast near Jervis Bay. Friends of ours bought a waterfront property and have spent the last 2 years renovating it. Though to be honest they did more than renovate. About the only thing remaining from the original house is the floor and frame. Its amazing!

I am in total awe at how amazing these people are to have redesigned and then basically rebuilt the entire house. Now its a lovely little cottage that inspires me to do the same. Unfortunately I am afraid that I just do not have the time, boy do I wish I did.

The weather on Saturday was grey and overcast but that didn't stop my son. He loves the water and enjoyed playing on the sand until he was eventually soaked through. We had to give him a bath in a great big storage tub thing which he also thought was wonderful.

That night after dinner the wind became ferocious. You could here it howling down the chimney of the wood fire place they have. It was delightful to watch the flames dance.

On Sunday E, my son and I went and had a look in some shops. One of which was a handmade candle shop that I bought some great citronella candles from (I will show you them in a later post). Meanwhile the men watched Bathurst after taking our friends boat out.
