Bundeena

Today we visited Bundeena, a 20 minute journey on the ferry from Cronulla. Situated in  Bundeena the Royal National Park is the second biggest in the world. We visited some of its beautiful beaches such as Jibbon and Gunyah.
To be honest the weather wasn't great, it was warm but cloudy. This meant the beaches were very calm and quiet, totally the opposite of yesterday's beach. This is the first time I have felt like I am in Australia. The landscapes are something out of the movies, I kept imagining Lost or Lord of the Rings being filmed but of course none were filmed here.
Despite the cloudy weather which meant colder water we braved it and swam in the sea. The water was very cold but we managed to do a bit of snorkelling. Saw a jelly fish very close to me, instantly remembered 7Pounds. I was told by Roo not to touch it as it would die. A small fact... Jelly fish body consist of over 95% water, so the poor thing is practically nothing. Also in one of the photos above you can see a star fish resting on my shoulder. We found it by the beach. This is the first time I had seen a real life star fish.
We are now back in Sydney, good to have wifi access again as my 3G connection provided by VIRGIN is rubbish, need to visit the store tomorrow and find out why.
I hope you enjoy the photos and if you want to know more about more then I suggest you pay a visit to uncle Wikipedia. WINK WINK.
