Sydney Off The Beaten Path

National Parks / Parks / Gardens: Close your eyes and imagine 1965
  • Tip Rating:
  • Now place yourself in the Royal National Park in Sutherland, Sydney...........perhaps near Garie or Wattamolla Beaches.

    I have had a lovely time this week locating a box of slides of places taken when I was younger. Way back then I had a slide viewer, but that disappeared somewhere off the beaten track and so I didn't know what I would find when I had a few of them printed. Some more are in a travelogue here.

    I just popped into the link, (below) and it is fantastic.......shortly I will do another trip down memory lane and check the whole link out.

  • The link below will tell you how to get there, what you need to take and how long you would need to set aside to do it justice. I must admit that I was very impressed by the site and the information. If you do this side trip from Sydney, you might then understand why I used to visit there so much when I lived in Sydney and why I think that it is something not to be missed by visitors.

    Beaches: You wouldn't expect to find a beach on a river
  • Tip Rating:
  • But Sandy Beach, the place where I learned to swim, was not only supposedly the largest open air pool in the southern hemisphere, but also a fenced off portion of the shark infested Georges River, famous for its oysters.

    A pretty park that attracted heaps of visitors on the weekends also had a unique kiosk come look-out centrally situated. A very peaceful place.

  • Oatley Park, on the Georges River southern suburb of Sydney is a lovely surprise for people. Away from the hustle and bustle of the town you can almost imagine that you are right out in the bush........which indeed you are while driving in the park.

    This unique kiosk, come lookout is situated on the central stairway to the beach.
