Woebegone Freedive
Jervis Bay NSW 2540


I think this would be an amazing experience after seeing documentaries on freediving. I enjoy anything to do with the ocean and to Freedive would be a true bucket list moment.

Lara and Dylan, two South Coast locals are the professional instructors and owners of Woebegone Freedive. Passionate about teaching, exploring and conservation, with 15 years of experience between them, it also helps that they have a perfect safety record.

There are many expeditions to choose from on their website here. Adventurous beach and boat snorkelling expeditions along with Freedive courses. Equipment is included, suitable for ages 5 years and up with no experience necessary.

One day I hope to experience this - Swim with Whales, Seals & Dolphins Expedition, I've wanted to swim with dolphins for a long time, and if I see a whale and some seals, wow ... what a bonus!

Frere's Crossing Bushwalk
Frere's Road, Kentlyn NSW


If you're looking for an easy bushwalk, then Frere's Crossing Bushwalk might be one you will enjoy. Walk along the Georges River through lush bushland featuring Gymea Lilies, Fuchsia Heath, Grevilleas and more amongst the Scribbly and Grey gumtrees.

You will see the remains of the bridge named after George Pierre Frere, the Frere's Crossing Bridge and here you can sit and listen to the quiet surrounding you.

The Campbelltown Visitor Information Centre has more information about this walk and other areas you can visit along the Georges River.
