Jervis Bay is not in NSW.

[Gingermick]

The navy seem to think it is.

RAAF Base Nowra was considered the ideal choice because of its proximity to Jervis Bay,

[Wood Borer]

I think you'll find Jervis Bay is in the ACT and not NSW.

I got caught out by a trivia pedant one time. "What is the name of the harbour in the ACT?" I was thinking of some row boat pier on Lake Burley Griffin but a bit of research revealed the trivia person was correct.

The ACT is in two parts, the bit around Canberra and the bit around Jervis Bay.

[Gingermick]

That one will go into the memory banks.
(I'm a trivia pedant too, still in training though)

The Evans Head nsw. I am looking for is the one around 40kms. south of Ballina. Started painting again, but will return to woodwork as soon as the wife calms down. :)

[Daddles]

How about I take a shot out my back door. It's night now so you won't be able to see that there's no river and it's piddling cats and dogs :(

I flew into Evans Head to an air show in the early 1970's.

Watched Brian ("Blackjack") Walker - a WW2 fighter ace - aileron roll a light twin passenger aircraft. Not rated aerobatic.

Most elegant flying. Most gracious guy. Great day at Evans Head.

I do the same in Microsoft flight simulator, thankfully without the risk or having had wartime experience. Have you ever used one of these type software programs?

Well, I flew into Evans Head in 1982 in a Helicopter gunship, fired off about 20,000 rounds and a few rockets then headed home.

I did manage to creep into the workshop today when Janet wasn't
looking :D

When I first saw this thread I was going to ask: Where's Evans Head?

But then I remembered that one of my mates has a dad who is a keen and expert fisherman. People are always asking him where they're biting. The conversation then follows these lines:-

"Mate, I'm told they're goin' real well at Goat Head."

"Goat Head, eh?'

"Yair. Goat Head. That's the spot."

"Whattaya get at Goat Head, then?'

"Almost anythin' ya can think of, mate. Snapper, dhufish, mulloway, King George Whiting. You name it!"

"Jeez. Sounds pretty good!"

"Yair."

"So where's Goat Head then?'

"Mate! About three feet from his @rse!"

This is the same bloke who used to sell double-gees to seppo sailors in Fremantle for $20 apiece. He used to show them a photo of a Thorny Mountain Devil. He had them convinced the double-gees were eggs!

Went past the turnoff about 3 hours ago, actually stopped in at Woodburn and bought fish 'n chips with the kids for tea, unfortunately wasn't that bright outside ;) so no photo.

[JackoH]

Fish 'n chips any good?

[dbarrott]

Jervis Bay is in NSW, Jervis Bay Territory which has a shoreline on Jervis Bay is part of Australian Capital Terrirory.

[jow104]

Thank you dbarrott for that input.

[Wood Borer]

I take your point.

Am I correct in saying Jervis Bay is a body of water, a territory and a town?

There is a postcode for it, a primary school etc so I gather it is not only a body of water.

Not that it really matters, we all know where it is and who administers it.
