HE CLAIM several years ago that Hyams has the “whitest”

sand of any Aussie beach sparked a minor controversy.

It led to a Murdoch University study that ultimately dis-

proved the claim. While Hyams’ sand is very white – and famous

for it – scientifically speaking the “whitest” is at Lucky Bay in

Western Australia. But sand colour is just one stunning feature of

Hyams. It lies on the southern shores and crystal-clear waters of

Jervis Bay Marine Park, in the Shoalhaven. For yet another reason

to visit this pretty region see The old Wool Road on page 114.

Drones. Love ’em or hate ’em, there’s no doubt they are changing the way we do and see many things.

You may baulk at the sight of a drone flying around in the great outdoors, but this technology is providing us

with amazing new perspectives on familiar landscapes.
