Sydney Off the Beaten Path Tips by Gypsystravels

We did a day trip to Watson's Bay to meet up with Laura for lunch at Doyle's at the Beach. After lunch, Laura had to rush home, so we decided to explore more of Watson's Bay.

The Bay has some of the most amazing views. Watson's Bay is located on the southern head of the entrance to Sydney Harbour. According to my guide book, it is considered the oldest fishing village in Sydney.

Watson's Bay has two walking paths from the warf and we decided to walk south past The Gap, see Signal Station and Macquarie Lighthouse.

We decided to do another day trip, this time to Manly Beach. We took the ferry across and spent most of the afternoon exploring the beach and just enjoying the beautiful weather. There were people on the beach, but the waves were huge and the wind was strong. We walked along the beach and decided to stop and have some lunch. After lunch we explored a bit around the town and walked to an area called "Kangaroo Park". I must say, I really thought I would see kangaroos, but we didn't.

The name of the beach is quite interesting, "Manly was named by Captain Arthur Phillip after his encounter with the confident and manly Aboriginal people"
