5 /5 Narelle Wockner: As I have travelled the coastline of Australia and photographed many Lighthouses, I was thrilled to have had the experience of finding the first lighthouse to be built in Australia during my recent trip to Sydney.
Macquarie Lighthouse built in 1818. Located north of Manly beach and perched up on a cliff face of Signal Hill Reserve.
5 /5 KW Wong: Marvelous structure, and you can see airplanes herr
5 /5 BUSSINBUN CAFE: So stunning. It’s an amazing spot for any occasion; visiting, picnic, date night, etc. It is the best spot to take photos of both the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge
5 /5 Eddie Lim: Unfortunately the day I visit the Macquarie Lighthouse, it was raining accompanied by strong coastal winds. So I didn’t do much walking about the area.
4 /5 Saia Funaki: Just an amazing spot to watch the sun set and rise over port. Also spent time here over night and enjoyed the stars whith some snacks. Its packed on holiday season so e prepared at times there is no spots to park so make sure you have Plan B if you cant find parking. Oh and theres whales during summers the whales swim past so bring binoculars to get a clear view u
Stanley R a Winnie Bay is a hidden coastal spot between Copacabana and Avoca Beach, known for its rugged beauty and secluded atmosphere. This peaceful bay is framed by dramatic cliffs and striking rock formations that give it a wild, untamed feel. Its the perfect spot for those who enjoy exploring rock pools or simply want to soak in the natural beauty of the area. Although it requires a short trek to reach, the untouched charm of Winnie Bay is worth every step. You can access it via a dirt track near the water tower on Cape Three Points Road in Avoca or from Del Monte Place in Copacabana. Both paths are well signposted and part of the scenic 5 Lands Walk.
Alan Huynh Beautiful landmark that oversees the waters surrounding Botany Bay and Malabar beach. Really beautiful to look at surrounded by fresh grass. It’s situated in an ideal place for sunset views and to see people taking their wedding pictures. Highly recommend visiting La peruse. You’ll also see a lot of cyclists, car enthusiasts and motorists in the area because it’s a nice place to just chill out and hang around. You can get there via bus and there are also toilets and a bubbler in the area
Jigar Jethwani Great park for a walk in the morning or evening. However, they dont turn on the lights after sunset or during dark. Path is really good, almost a kilometer long. There is a kid playground as well and many water bubblers along the way. It even has a washroom, and ample parking along all the sides of park. Indeed, a very well maintained park.
Em Great park with lots of open space! Also has plenty of parking and a really good-looking play area. And, around the park, theres a path, so you can ride a bike or run.
