Drummoyne - Rodd Park and Canada Bay Park

Canada Bay is not as accessible and family friendly compared to Rodd Park at Henley Marine Drive which has a magnetic force that draws many families to gather during weekends and public holidays.

Enjoy the simple pleasures of immersing in the beautiful perspective from all sides of the park shaped like a peninsula. It was Christmas Day. Voices of young carol singers at one shady end drifted through the warm sunny atmosphere. Extended families and friends leisurely catching up with lost time during the year. The energetic ones busy at the BBQ and playing games while the seniors ran after small children capitalising on their freedom in the wide open space.

One could get so close to the water. The rocks which have been seasoned and smoothened by the gentle ripples in the bay are alluring. But beware as they are very slippery. Some picnickers have brought rafts and boats but there were no swimmers in sight.

Fishing, anyone? Hope the water is clean and safe for fishes and consumers.

Fortunate are those who have acquired waterfront homes which are worth fortunes today. But rising tide waters due to global warming within a generation will always be at the back of our minds.

Sea Cliff at Clifton, Lawrence Hargrave Drive, Wollongong

The sea cliff bridge is a man-made feature on a natural setting of steep cliff and open sea. Lawrence Hargraves Drive is 60 km from Central Sydney and 23 km north of Wollongong.

Every time we pass by here, the skies are grey. In our latest visit, the clouds are holding up and the showers are isolated and short spelled. 

Heading south and down slope after passing the Royal National Park.

Vehicles slowing down to have a glimpse of the breathtaking view. But the skies are not cooperative as dark clouds gather and spread from the horizon to overcast.

Returning from Wollongong northwards, the view of the cliff becomes clearer from the passenger seat. So far, the views have not proven to be as spectacular as described by previous visitors and travel guide.



That is not all this area has to offer the keen photographer and excited interstate tourist.

Hidden in the tracks under the bridge is a natural world of charming vegetation, beaches, surfs and wildlife.
