This is the view from the waterfront at Watson's Bay. It's a line shot down the middle to the city, though a shame the hills get in the way of the bridge and opera house. If this was America, they'd have bulldozed those hills by now. Watson's Bay is now officially my favorite place in Sydney. We had our picnic under a tree, having brushed the fruit bat droppings off the table.
"Even better than Bennelong Point?" asked Darren.
There's no competition. Watson's Bay seems to have it all; clear, calm water, clean sand, great views, a park, free parking, picnic tables, a fish and chip restaurant (Doyles, right on the beach, see the other picture) and a smaller take-away version of Doyles on the jetty. It also has an enormous beer garden right on the water. It wouldn't be out of place on a little greek island.
People actually live here. They catch the jetcat down the harbour to get to work. It's a bit different from the M6. You can see the attraction.
