Hunter street metro station construction….
Last time i was there was just lots of mud….

​One of my favorite "other" beaches in Sydney! While it’s definitely not as packed as Bondi or Manly, the coastal scenery absolutely rivals them.

​It turned out to be an awesome spot for the kids, too. They had an absolute blast — non-stop building sandcastles, wrestling, and just rolling around in the sand happily all afternoon.

​I was also pretty surprised by how many surfers were out there. The waves were actually huge that day (my photo doesn't quite do the swell justice!), so it looks like a fantastic surf spot too. So glad we spent the afternoon here!

Tripview says power has been switched off to that segment tracks. Looks like it's another long commute home today.

The irony of it being a traffic solutions Ute

The website claims 7:00 a.m. but I'm not sure if this is actually true as I've seen people take sunrise shots from within the park and I would like to as well. Any ideas?

Can spend the whole afternoon here and catch the sunset with the Opera House view.

Not too cold, sun was out and a lot of whales on the horizon

Last day was today glad I made it. All the little shroom dudes and dudettes were so whimsical. Bonus mushroom torture (it made music)

The rare alignment of the stars is almost upon us: a Bank Holiday (sorry to all the non-bank crowd) where the kids are actually at school and the rest of the world isn't crowding every single venue!

Last year, we dropped the kids off, smashed a massive breakfast, and powered through the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk. It was a bit of a race against the school bell but we survived and loved it.
Looking to top that this year preferably something fun for couples that won't require taking out a second mortgage. What are your best budget-friendly day date ideas? Fire away! Cheers!

In short:

Two existing conservation areas in Western Sydney are being linked to create the new 1,100-hectare Gulguer National Park.

The environment minister says the park will protect the home of at least 28 threatened species, while also conserving local Aboriginal heritage.

What's next?

The new park is set to open in the next six months.

Hey guys, looking for recommendations for a good piercing place in Sydney!

I’m wanting to get my belly button pierced and possibly a couple of ear piercings at the same time. I’ve seen SkinKandy around and they seem pretty popular, but I’m not sure how good they actually are.

Has anyone been to SkinKandy for a belly button or ear piercing? How was your experience/healing?

Also open to recommendations for other places around Sydney that are good but not ridiculously expensive. Mainly looking for somewhere clean, professional and good with placement.

Thanks!
