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

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.
