boat people

surrounded by sea and with 80% of australians living on the coast we definitely have an affinity with the water. 


today i'm taking you with us for a cruise on the harbour with it's secluded, and not so secluded sandy beaches, sandstone shoreline & historic houses in a tinnie (small aluminium boat). 















all this is only 5 or 6 km from the city
hope you enjoyed the ride as much as we did 
too many photos for one post
to be continued next week..

    Yes! I enjoyed that very much! I would love to visit your fabulous country one day but am not sure it will ever happen so your photos are very much appreciated. I have never realized how tropical Australia is until recently. Beautiful photos! Thanks so much!

    You do this great city such justice. Wonderful shots. I have to say I'm partial to the little Optimist yacht the kiddos are sailing. The Beach House Brat races in one of those each Sunday arvo.

    I adore your phototography. You really show Sydney at her best.

    Wow, wow, wow! If they ever kick me out of Florida, it's nice to know I have options. What an amazingly beautiful harbor. The SUP's, kayaks, sailboats, houses, and ....where are the shells? :D

    Your images always astound me, how stunning! We live further inland and our closest body of water is a river and it certainly is not these gorgeous blues and greens xo

    Thanks Cheryl - I am getting excited as I am hoping to do just that when I am up there in March - but maybe on a ferry & not a tinnie!

    What a terrific tour in Sydney. I missed the beautiful city. Hope to visit there again in the end of the year.

    No worries, with the photos. They are adorable and I am imagining every photos you post. I even heard the water splashing.

    Rather than winter, cold & dark.

    What an opposite weather we have.

    Happy TTT,
