The paperbark forest that borders the Currumbene Creek gives the camp its name and your hosts, Jeremy and Irena, have created an experience where you can stay in the comfort of an African style safari tent, and enjoy the coastal scenery and wildlife that make Jervis Bay so special. Your only concern is to keep your tent zipped up so that the local possums and antechinus (a small marsupial) do not have the chance to make of with your best toiletries – they are friendly but mischievous!

Jervis Bay plays host to an extraordinary diversity of wildlife: dolphins and fur seals have made this coast their home and Bowen Island is one of the northernmost rookeries for the Australian Fairy Penguin. Sitting on the point at Cape St. George on a cool clear winter’s day, watching the plumes of spray and swirls of water as Humpback and Southern Right whales head north on their annual migration is an exhilarating experience. Or if you feel more adventurous, you can view these great mammals up close from a boat. Hosts: Jeremy & Irena Hutching
