Pittwater as seen from West Head Lookout, Sydney

Pittwater as seen from West Head Lookout, Sydney

On our trip to Sydney earlier this year we had a brief visit to West Head Lookout in Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park north of the city. The morning had been cold and wet but after lunch it cleared enough for us to get out of the house for a few hours.

It had been nearly ten years since my last visit here. The photographic opportunities were limited due to the haze from the wind and rain earlier in the day. Still, I did manage a few nice shots, even if they are on the hazy side.

On our trip to Sydney earlier this year to visit family we spent an afternoon in the Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park. We stopped for quite a while at the West Head Lookout where we took in the extensive sights over the Hawkesbury River, Broken Bay, Barrenjoey Head and Pittwater.

We later took a short walk on one of the walking trails but ran out of daylight which is a shame as this is undoubtedly a beautiful part of the greater Sydney area. In fact, where I took these photos is less than an hour by car from the CBD of Sydney.
