I believe it is fair to say that Caringbah is not on the tourist map. This south Sydney district in the Southerland Shire is really a collection of residential, commercial and industrial areas and presumably acts as a dormitory for many Sydney workers. As a tourist,...
Woolloomooloo has to be one of the best location names, it invokes a sense of fun and curiosity as to what the suburb may actually be like. Sadly there is some debate as to what the name actually means with two differing theories concluding in either a place of plenty...
Kirribilli is very much a Sunday kind of suburb. If your in Sydney and it’s Sunday, popping along to Kirribilli to check out the frequent markets held under the Harbour Bridge and maybe take in brunch at one of the many street side cafes could be a good way to...
Day 25 – 10,222 KM. Town 43. After visiting Narrabeen, it was just a short drive to the adjoining suburb of Collaroy along the hectic Pittwater road. Indeed, until the start of the 1900’s, Collaroy was part of Narrabeen. However this was changed when, the ship...
Day 25 – 10,128 KM. Town 42. Today I took the opportunity to drive down from Terrigal to Sydney to take in a couple of the more local ‘Everywhere’ locations. My first stop was Narrabeen a beach side suburb that perhaps typifies one of the many city beaches...
Shortly after I started my ‘Everywhere’ quest I decided to write to Geoff Mack to see if I could get a further insight into his iconic lyrics. So I sent a mail off to some anonymous PO Box in Sydney and promptly forgot about it. However a couple of months...
Day 24 – 10,040 KM. Town 41. Every time I go to Sydney I drive through Turramurra, but only today have I had reason to stop thanks to this project. For visitors to this Sydney suburb first impressions are probably based upon the noise and colour of traffic travelling...
Day 23 – 9,790 KM. Town 40. The trip from Megalong was a pleasant hike around the Blue Mountains up and down hills along foggy roads and I soon arrive at my next destination Kurrajong, and the Kurrajong Radio Museum. The Kurrajong Radio Museum apparently displays many...
Day 23 – 9,748 KM. Town 39. Megalong is one of those locations where the journey there is perhaps more rewarding than the actual destination. Driving from Lithgow to Megalong takes you around the Blue Mountains, part of the Great Dividing Range and with the extra...
Day 22 – 9,708 KM. Town 38. I arrived late into Lithgow following my journey from Molong but was pleased to learn more about this town and why it uses the “Big Miners Lamp” (see above) as its tourist information office. Lithgow is at the heart of a coal...
