West Head Lookout, Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park

On our trip to Sydney earlier this year we went for a drive from my son’s home to Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park. It had been a rainy morning but the sky cleared around lunch time so went headed off, deciding to take a chance on the weather. As we drove north the sky cleared even more and we ended up having a very pleasant visit for the afternoon.

The West Head Lookout gives good views over the Pacific Ocean, parts of the northern beaches area of Sydney as well as the many inlets on this part of the coast.

On our recent trip to Sydney to visit family, we stopped briefly at the Dog on the Tuckerbox memorial near Gundagai in NSW. Nearby were the ruins of Joseph Carberry’s Inn.

This is right next door to the famous Dog on the Tuckerbox just a short distance from Gundagai.

You can read the detailed history of this place on the photo of the plaque below. (Hint: click on the photo to enlarge the image.)

This photo was taken on our trip to Sydney earlier this year. We stopped for a cuppa at the famous Dog on the Tuckerbox memorial near Gundagai. I couldn’t resist taking a photo of the beautiful autumn leaves against a clear blue sky. I’ll show more photos like this in the coming days.
