G'day Mark, Another Sydney afficionado! I seem to remember you telling me a few years ago that you had lived over here. Dee Why is a few kilometres north of Manly near Narrabeen lagoon and ocean fed pools abound to protect people from sharks and surf while they enjoy the sea. I'll try taking you on a paddle trip from Clontarf to Barrenjoey, that takes in the northern half of Sydney and most of the places you mention, but give me a few days to remember things over Easter. All the best, PeterO ________________________________ From: Mark Sanders [mailto:sandmarks_at_ca.rr.com] Sent: Wed 8/04/2009 12:15 AM To: rebyl_kayak; Paddlewise Paddlewise Subject: Reminiscing Australian Peter, Wonder if you could answer a question. As a kid I lived in Australia for a year, right across the Strand at Dee Why Beach. I wonder now how that area might be for kayaking. It's been so long, I don't remember much about the area, other than it seemed a nice stretch of coast that my friends and I would roam. Is it part of Manley Bay, another name I remember from my time there? I don't even remember if it was a protected area or not. I can remember some wicked electrical storms would hit the area. I remember Mulberry trees, cliffs, tide pools, lagoons and an ocean fed pool, all of great interest to an 8 year old. Any info on the area would be appreciated.
