Wherever we’ve been so far in Sydney, we have never been too far from a park or green space. No exception here as we parked the car in front of this huge, well kept green area – the beach behind us beyond more greenery and trees.

Parked and looking along the road from the marina steps. Looking down on the mooring field. Accompanied – of course by a noisy friend.
