Ever noticed that north and south of Sydney that there is an almost complete lack of rest areas, apart from the huge NOISY service centres? We cheat and get off the beaten track, as we were both born and breed in Sydney ages ago. So to find this little gem just follow the edge of Botany Bay on the south side of Sydney until you get to the Dolls Point/Ramsgate area just past the airport. |

Here it is a lot quieter and yes you will
easily find a parking spot, as long as it's not the weekend. As can be
seen from the piccies it was blowing a gale the day of our visit. You
can park tail in and there are taps for filling your tanks and a clean
toilet block at the southern end. Feel like a swim? The shark proof enclosure
is right in front of you. Lots of entertainment here as you gobble up
your smoko.

There's windsurfers, passing boats, swimmers
and the huge jets taking off from Mascot over the water - they all head
right past you. Walking wise this spot is heaven. Just follow the special
path south towards the Captain Cook Bridge. It goes for
miles and follows the waters edge. The path is all beautifully laid brick
pavers and is a bike riders dream!

To get back on the Princes Highway
just head west and you will find it after a couple of kms. If you are
heading south, just cross the Captain Cook Bridge and turn
right at the second set of lights. This stop made our passing through
Sydney a lot more pleasant than normal as it had very friendly locals
and was relatively peaceful. Doggies seem to be welcome here as well.Absolutely
