Bundeena And Kurnell

It was decided that we would take the dogs to Bundeena where we could walk them on the beach. Bundeena is in the middle of a national park and is a very scenic spot. We spent some little while getting there through the suburbs of Sydney and some more time driving around looking for the right beach. These days, this is achieved by checking on one's mobile phone. In the end the main beach at Bundeena was OK if the dogs were on the lead. Zoe and Rosemarie went off to buy a sandwich for lunch and David and I parked the car with some aplomb, I felt, and walked back down to meet  them.
We had lunch in a beautiful spot, under a tree, over looking the beach. After we had eaten we walked the dog the length of the beach admiring the beautiful houses along the beachfront and deciding which one we would like to buy. There were several there that met the bill. If only we had several million dollars!
We then drove to Kurnell Beach where you could drive the car onto the beach and the dogs could roam off the lead. Again another beautiful stretch of sand , unspoilt by development, no shops and no hotels. The dogs had a great time chasing their tennis balls into the sea, although both were a little startled by the crashing of the waves. It is hard to believe that so close to the sprawling metropolis that is Sydney there are are such beautiful and unspoilt beaches. I had Not thought of Sydney being built on several coves along the sea front, but that is exactly what has happened, and for almost all of the journey to Bundeena from Manly we were looking at creeks, or beaches,or sea views. There is a lot to recommend about Sydney.
