Greenwich Point Baths

It is very small. a handkerchief, as the saying goes. These photos were taken early, before the body count built up. It pays to get there early. The access is steep, the roads winding. and the parking negligible.
One has to pay for entry. However, for us (2 adults + 2 children), it was only $11. We always take our own food, to reduce both sugars and fats. But, the coffee was very good. And brought to me on the sand!
However, it is on the harbour. And the harbour is dotted with ferry wharves. Indeed, there was a walking track across the point to Greenwich Point ferry, and a short trip to Circular Quay. Tell you about it in my next post.

The CBD - From a Distance


The city is on the south-side of the harbour. Greenwich (gren-ich) Point is on the north-side of the harbour. We are looking south-east. It is about 9am last Monday, a Public Holiday here in New South Wales.

Greenwich Point baths are new to me. They are a small, fenced, harbour pool; pay for entry. Parking is not easy to come by. Access is steep. It is a delight, and the views are to die for.

They have a "Nippers" programme which starts on 1st November, so I am assured we will be back.

A note on the first image. There is a forested area immediately before the high-rise of the CBD. This is Goat Island.
