Learn about our aboriginal culture on one of the fascinating walkabout tours. You can taste natural Australian bush tucker and hear the mysteries of bush medicine, sit around a campfire for a talk or go for a spotlight walk. All of these and other activities conducted here are fascinating for all ages and a wonderful insight into how the local aboriginal communities have appreciated their wonderful environment for many thousands of years. Also famous at Jervis Bay is the Australian Naval College, HMAS Creswell. This officer training college was established in 1915 and has a rich collection of its history and of model sailing ships.
Some restricted visits are available to both the grounds of the college and to the museum.
A National Park, Nature Reserve and the Annexe of the Australian National Botanic Gardens are all also waiting for you to explore and fall in love with. The Jervis Bay National Park includes Green Patch Beach and other notable beauty spots such as Hole in the Wall, Bristol Point and Scottish Rocks. Also available are a Visitors Centre, many bushwalking trails, boat ramps, picnic and barbeque equipment and camping areas. A ruined lighthouse on the southern side of Jervis Bay is also well worth exploring. There is a large range of accommodation and shopping available amongst these small picturesque townships.
