There are a lot of playgrounds around Narrabeen Lakes but the most natural of these and currently our favourite is Billarong Reserve Playground. Billarong Reserve Playground used to be the most popular of the three playgrounds but with the introduction of the new Tramsheds playground it has taken a back seat. I like that it’s […]
Tiny Doors on the Northern Beaches
I have seen little signs for Tiny Doors on the Northern Beaches for ages now. I had read a few posters but still had no idea what on earth it was. Until this past weekend when a librarian at Dee Why library took some time to explain it to us. We were handed a map, […]
Bouldering on the Northern Beaches: UNCo at the Mall.
We just went bouldering on the Northern Beaches and it was AWESOME. If you’ve seen the pictures on Instagram or Facebook, you’ll know how much fun both kids had. I was really unsure of the whole experience because my youngest isn’t the most agile. Our last experience like this was not a great success, she […]
Northern Beaches Libraries
Northern Beaches Libraries There are a couple of libraries that make up the Northern Beaches Libraries. This includes Dee Why Library, Forestville Library, Glen Street Library and Manly Library. With the cooler months coming maybe it’s time to head indoors and make the most of the Northern Beaches Libraries. Despite our love of books,I hadn’t […]
Whale Beach, Sydney
Whale Beach I have a friend who swears that Whale Beach is her favourite beach in Sydney. I can see why. It’s one of those long long beaches with sand for days and long shoreline. It’s quieter than the other big beaches so it’s really a nice space to be on a hot summer day. […]
The Beaches Market – For the whole family
The Beaches Market at Warriewood I can’t believe the Beaches Markets were happening just up the beaches from us and I had no idea. It’s such a great market to visit with such good fresh produce that you can’t not at least visit once. We’ll be back, hopefully for some fruit and vegetables but […]
Potter’s Cafe at Pittwater RSL – Tuesday Toddler Time
Potter’s Cafe at Pittwater RSL and Tuesday Toddler Time I have a feeling that Potter’s Cafe is going to become an extremely popular hangout for families living on Sydney’s North Shore. The layout of the Cafe, adjacent restaurant and play areas are certain to appeal to families with kids. That’s not even giving any attention […]
North Curl Curl Lagoon with kids
North Curl Curl Lagoon with kids I didn’t realise that North Curl Curl Lagoon was such a good place to visit with kids. We live nearby and I had noticed a few people walking and cycling along the lagoon on the beach side but I didn’t realise it extended so far. It’s not as pretty […]
Rock Pools – South Curl Curl
South Curl Curl Rock Pools South Curl Curl Rock Pools are the real deal. It’s hard for me to cheat on Dee Why beach pools like this but they really are great – South Curl Curl that is. HOW TO GET TO THE SOUTH CURL CURL ROCK POOLS It’s pretty self-explanatory, the South […]
Flying Fox / Winnererremy Bay Park Playground, Mona Vale
THE AMAZING FLYING FOX PARK, MONA VALE Flying Fox playground is a great playground. It’s famously one of the best on Sydney’s North Shore. With a big walking path circling the open flat park, a coffee shop and playground it ticks all the boxes. Whether you’re up for a picnic, scooter ride or a quick […]
