Barangaroo, a simple yet strong fisherwomen of the

Barangaroo, a simple yet strong fisherwomen of the Cadigal clan lived in this area way back in the 18 century. Today a commercial hub, #barangaroo is an eclectic mix of high rise glass and chrome buildings, interspersed with colonial brick buildings, wooden wharves and parklands.
Part of #darlingharbour the entire area has undergone a massive change from its erstwhile docklands tag to the swanky urban centre for commerce and art. The waterfront area is a bustling spot for many #sydneysiders to indulge in a bit of art, culture or food.
Known as the ‘hungry mile’ during the #greatdepression today the options to eat is way too many. How fortunes of a place change!
Where once warehouses rested it is now replaced with bars, alfresco dining and even a casino (although they don’t have license to operate as one yet).
Walk along the by lanes, take in the lights, laughter and the languishing waves that hit the wharves. Enjoy a bit of #sydney everyday.

Here is a #throwback to a cold sunny day in #sydne

Here is a #throwback to a cold sunny day in #sydney as we #sydneysiders head towards winter.
Taken at #berowravalleynationalpark on a walk on the #greatnorthwalk with the Berowra creek meandering along, as the walk itself takes you through centuries of history of the Dharug and Guringai clans. The national park has a lot to offer. Loads of paths to trek, interesting flora and fauna, picnic facilities and families wanting to indulge in a bit of kayaking can do so too.
Sydney and surrounds offer many such walks and places to explore which are perfect to spend a crisp sunny winter day out and about.

Trains have defined how we travel. The @nswrailmu

Trains have defined how we travel. The @nswrailmuseum is a testament to the love of loco.
Even today two centuries since the invention of steam powered engines, the sight of a locomotive is that of joy and awe (at least for me). To soak in some of the loco-love we headed to the #nswrailmuseum in Thirlmere, southwest of #greatersydney
Established in the 1960’s this museum has an amazing stock of different locomotives, both Australian made as well as imported from around the world. Many of the carriages and engines have been painstakingly restored by volunteers and showcase the opulence and grandeur of traveling by the train.
There is also a steam train ride for those who want to sample the simpler life.

The museum is about 90 km from Sydney and is an hour and half drive along the #humehighway

Eden- A port for whales. From a bloody whaling history to now a famed whale watching town, this place has come a long way.
Eden, as the name suggests is a place of abundant natural beauty. The town became synonymous with whaling in the 19 century with numerous whalers competing to make the largest catch of the season.
Ben Boyd tower (pic 1) originally planned as a lighthouse was abandoned for a better and taller one at Green cape a few miles away. The tower since then became the hot point to spot whales.
The Davidsons ran the whaling station (pic 2-4) from a sheltered cove in Kiah’s inlet, up until after the #ww1 and had a pod of killer whales that partnered with humans for the hunt. Old Tom (pic 5) and his pack of 6 were key to the capture of Baleen whales.
A highly risky and bloody operation the fat from the whale was boiled at the try works to extract the oil which was in high demand. From lighting to corsets to medicine and cosmetics the whales were completely decimated to provide for the human kind.
Today #australia is a anti whaling nation and if you are curious to know more or spot these giant creatures head out to the #southcoastnsw between June and November for the spectacular whale highway season.
Eden is about 600km from Sydney and is a fantastic #roadtrip both on its own or if you are driving down to #victoria ...

The far south coast of #nsw has an abundance of sights and experience to indulge in.
Known as the Sapphire Coast the area stretching from #batemansbay to #eden is home to #dreamtime stories, geological wonders and of course the whale highway.
The undersea volcanoes have resulted in beautiful carved natural sculptures along the #narooma coastline. #horseheadrock and glasshouse bay are both accessible at low tide. A unique ecosystem is created due to the same undersea activity at he #montagueisland off the coast.
Montague Island sits on the edge of the continental shelf and is home to migratory birds and colonies of seals. A towering lighthouse stands guard keeping the #maritime activities safe and going.
A 5 hour drive from #sydney this part of the world is beautiful. Destroyed at many places owing to the 2019 #bushfiresaustralia the locals and the forests are both recovering and are happy to welcome visitors. Take a trip and #discovernsw
