Rushcutters Bay Kayaking?
So I'm heading to Rushcutters Bay next week, planning a kayaking trip. I've heard the water quality can be...iffy, depending on the wind and tide. Anyone know the best time of day to go for a relati… more
Early morning, before the wind picks up and the ferries start churning things up. The water's usually calmer and clearer then. As for rentals, I've had good luck with the place near the park – they seem to keep their kayaks in decent shape. Check their reviews online though, just to be sure. You could also check out some of the smaller independent rental spots; sometimes they have better equipment. But yeah, early morning's your best bet for cleaner water.
Good tip on the early morning start! I hadn't thought about the ferry wake. Makes sense to avoid that. I'll definitely check reviews for those places near the park – appreciate the heads-up on the smaller independent rentals too; sometimes the bigger places can be a bit… impersonal. Thanks!
Sydney's Secret Gardens?
So, I'm heading to the Royal Botanic Garden next week. I've heard it's amazing, but all the photos online show the main areas. Anyone know about any less-visited, quieter spots within the gardens?… more
The Royal Botanic Garden is huge! You'll definitely find quiet spots if you wander away from the main paths. Try heading towards the harbour side – there are some lovely secluded areas near the ferry wharves, often overlooked. The Aboriginal Heritage Walk might be good too; it's less crowded and has a different feel altogether. Pack a good map though, or you might get properly lost amongst the palms and fig trees. Good luck with the bird spotting – I hear the kookaburras are pretty vocal in the less-trafficked sections.
Wow, thanks! The Aboriginal Heritage Walk sounds amazing, I hadn't even considered that. Getting properly lost amongst palms and fig trees... now that's my kind of adventure. Kookaburras, you say? My camera's charged and ready! A map is definitely going on the list. I appreciate the detailed tips!
