All the pretty things #3

Living in any city for a number of years, it's easy to think you've seen the best that place has to offer, so imagine my surprise when we discovered not one, but two new favourite spots this week.
Narrabeen lagoon is a gorgeous lake on Sydney's North shore, surrounded by a walkway that's stunning, pram friendly, and home to a barking owl. Yep you read that right. Here's a picture of the little fella and he does sound just like a dog.


Sunsets at the lagoon are pretty spectacular too...



Meanwhile in Sydney's South, we decided to pay Kamay Botany Bay National Park a visit. Again, a place I had not visited before (probably because it's surrounded by oil refineries and situated practically underneath the airport. It just did not sound that appealing, but how wrong I was...)
This is the location where Captain Cook first set foot on Australian shores, the place where an entire country's fate and history was changed. But aside from the great historic significance of this area, it is also absolutely stunning, with a great selection of easily accessible fire trail walks and educational board walks.
Here's the view from Yena Gap, accessible via the Yena and Muru fire trails...




And finally, closer to home, a familiar view of the sun sinking behind Centennial Park's duck pond...




Turning leaves to gold in the process...



Looking ahead to next week, I can only hope it will be as beautiful as this week, but with spring officially here there should be plenty of fun to be had!
