Venus Bay Caravan Park

As we drive into Venus Bay, this is our 1st priority, to get ourselves a camp spot. We book in at the shop/office - everything friends have mentioned, lovely views of Bay, clean and tidy, terrific takeaway menu incorporating fresh seafood.
We are offered a choice out of 4 camping sites - we select site 33, as it's close to the camp kitchen and amenities block. Roger has us settled on our site - with mat and awning out.
Neighbours are quick to call by and introduce themselves - the ladies with fisherman husband's. Maureen (& Tom), Fay (& Colin). Victorians too - they've been coming here annually for 14 years. Tom and Colin are out in Tom's tinny fishing.
Roger and I keen to have lunch, so we make up sandwiches - I toast mine.
After this we go for a walk to check out Venus Bay's 2 shops and go out along the Jetty.
We spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing at camp - and for afternoon nibbles, have 'fun' eating our fresh oysters along with a bottle of bubbles. After this we have a clean up, before relaxing some more. Tea tonight we're going to try out the recommended takeaway burgers from the Caravan Park shop. Both of us having Chicken burgers with the lot for $12.50 each.
We sit up at the shop - on their back veranda with table and chairs - overlooking the park to the bay, very nice views. These burgers are fantastic - best burgers we've had in a long time. YUM Now we're happy to go for an evening walk.
Return, and Roger has his shower, we relax before bedtime.
11/02/25 Tuesday. We get up before 7.30am. I decide to go for a run. Rog does his thing at camp - prepares for a cooked breakfast.
When I get back, I shower and then we have breakfast together. It's going to be a warm one today so we've decided to go for a drive (airconditioning) and check out nearby Talia Cave Drive. We leave around 9.30am.
We get back around 1pm - it's hot so we just relax inside our caravan for most of the afternoon. Listening to a podcast called 'Bronwyn' - cold case, then reading and napping. Roger goes for a swim at the Jetty, I stay in the caravan reading my book. I organise some cheese and biscuits for late afternoon drinks, then we order some more burgers for our tea - they are that good! I decided to try a hamburger with the lot this time - Roger happily staying with the chicken Burger. Turns out we both have chicken burgers again - as they've run out of hamburgers. We head over to the shop to have our tea, in our bathers as we plan to go for a swim afterwards - we do.
Return back to camp for showers. Roger stays at the caravan, doing dishes, I go for another walk around the South Head Trail. I call Jen while doing this walk - for an overdue catch up. Get back and help with tidy up. Now writing this up before going to bed. Roger already asleep.
12/02/25 Wednesday. We're up around 7.30am. I feel like a shower to help me wake up - it didn't cool down much throughout the night. Come back from my shower and have my porridge for breakfast and then start helping to get ready to move out of this caravan park. We're underway about 9am.Read more
