This is our last full day in Sydney before leaving for Melbourne/Mansfield. Bob called and kindly offered to drive us to Palm Beach, on a peninsula north-east of Sydney proper. Of course, we jumped at his offer and set off on the “coastal route” to capture views of the Pacific. Most beaches are secluded primarily due to limited access caused by private homes along the periphery of the beach. Unfortunately many of the best views are from the driveways of these fenced private homes.
Palm Beach is part nature reserve so provides good beach access, peach-coloured sand....and is used as the shoot by a popular TV series in OZ (Home & Away). It also has The Boat Shed, a casual but trendy restaurant where well-presented waiters serve well-presented food to golfers from the nearby course, leisurely-types and a bevy of blue-rinse ladies (plus us of course!). After lunch we strolled to the beach for a final view before heading back to Sydney via the interior route, in a light rain. Most enjoyable....thanks Bob.
As previously mentioned we leave tomorrow (March 6th) to stay about one week in Mansfield. We’re not sure if our accommodation will provide reasonable access to the internet.....so there may be limited blog during this period.
