Looking down at Wollongong from Sublime Point lookout. Wollongong is about a 1 hour drive or 1 1/2 hour train ride south from Sydney city.

Newtown

King St, Newtown on a Saturday afternoon. Newtown is part of the Inner West of Sydney - it's a suburb that is very close to the city and always busy.

Winter Magic

The street parade at the Winter Magic Festival in Katoomba on June 23rd. Part of the Blue Mountains, Katoomba is a two hour train ride from Sydney Central.

Bundeena

Bundeena is a small village on the southern shores of Port Hacking, south of Sydney. The village is bordered by the Royal National Park on the other three sides.


You can get to Bundeena by ferry from Cronulla or by car from Sutherland. The drive from Sutherland is very scenic - taking you through some beautiful sections of national park. If you are planning on stopping in the national park, you have to pay an entry fee, but this fee is waived if you are just passing through to get to Bundeena.


Jibbon Beach is accessible via several walking tracks from the village.

Berowra Valley Bushland Park

Berowra Valley Bushland Park is in the northern suburbs of Sydney. The Great North Walk goes through the park and there are also smaller side tracks that take you into adjacent suburbs.


These photos were taken in a section of the park near the leafy suburb of Westleigh.

Terrigal

Terrigal is on the Central Coast of NSW - about a 90 minute drive from Sydney. It's got a nice laidback atmosphere and has the usual cafes, restaurants and tourist shops that you'd expect in a seaside holiday town.


Not the best time of day to take photos - just after midday - but the beach was so nice that I wanted to capture something of its appeal.


The Terrigal Surf Life Saving Club - a bit hard to see in the shadows, but there it is!

Cronulla

Cronulla beach is one of Sydney's southern beaches and it is a beautiful place to go for a walk on an autumn afternoon. There is a cliff walk that takes you past the Surf Life Saving Club and to a memorial at Port Hacking.

I love these rock pools! There are heaps of nice rocky sections as you walk around the bay. Sometimes you can look down at the rocks from a cliff and other times they are right there alongside the walkway.
