A pleasant half day road ride (bitumen, except for 4.6 kms of good gravel) from Nowra to Jervis
Bay at Huskisson, which by and large avoids the busy roads. Follow the bike paths and lanes uphill to
HMAS Albatross, ride around the perimeter of the airfield, and take Parma Rd, a very scenic country lane down to Currambene Creek. Once you cross the Princes Hwy, the ride along Woollamia Rd to
Huskisson is quiet and easy.
