Cockatoo Island & Sydney Biennale. Yeering Station Bar

Cockatoo Island has had a lot of changes for the Biennale this time. I won't spoil the art show as it just great to bounce into it. What I would recommend is to get to the Yeering Station Wine Bar just before sunset as the view is spectacular. I recommend you take a pontoon boat out for a full day from Sydney Charter Boat Hire Annandale and pull into Cockatoo Island for a few hrs. Take the scooters on the boat as it is a great place to ride them even for big Kids.

Sydney is really about taking a boat out and have your own adventure with your mates  and some fun in the sun. Thanks to Maria for the photos of the party.

Boating & Camping in the Hawkesbury River

Which is a wild camping spot that can only be accessed by boat or a 6 hr mountain trek in on foot. I took the whole family along and put the boat in at the Hawkesbury Bridge as it has a great boat ramp and car park as I left the car there. 

Hawkesbury bridge hawkesbury river
boat hire hawkesbury river

It was My wife's 40th Birthday and I wanted to take here for the first time of the grid as the kids are old enough with the youngest 4. I choose to take her up the Hawkesbury River just 1 hr out of the city by car and 1 hr up the river in the Pontoon boat to Gentleman's Hut.

 

Which is a wild camping spot that can only be accessed by boat or a 6 hr mountain trek in on foot. I took the whole family along and put the boat in at the Hawkesbury Bridge as it has a great boat ramp and car park as I left the car there. Everything was loaded on the boat before we left so it was quick to get out on the water and up the river as the sun drops quickly behind the mountains.We arrived at our destination Gentlemen's Hut the facilities are fire-pit and toilet bring your own water. The fire Pit is awesome and we were lucky the National parks and wildlife had cut some timber up.

We set up camp and got the fire going just as the sun set. there was a small walk into the campsite from the dock, which took a bit of effort due to the amount of gear we took as we stayed 5 days.

Next Morning after breakfast we took the boat across the river on a 5 minute trip to spencer as we had left the coffee behind. Spencer shop is the only place that sells peppers in Australia as there is no reception or internet. The guy who runs the shop Paul is ex MMM Radio and has the old MMM biggest radio on the side of the Rd rocking out some beats.

Paul says he takes request, he was selling single cans of JD and Coke at 11 am like coffe in the city. It's was contagious as the next 5 people who walked in bought a mixed spirit and most of them were ladies from the city on a road trip. We stuck to a coffee, old school newspaper, and some wedges before we head out for a fish just to make sure everyone was happy and content.

The next few days was cooking fishing stacking the fire. We had some trekkers come in for a night and older regular camper from the central coast who was escaping the wife each month who helped me pack the boat up later when we left. We fished up at bookly one day and pulled into the brooklyn marine and brought some fresh dew fish as we had no luck that day. No surprise as i later found out that they heavily trawling in the river I saw 7 trawlers on the monday all at once dragging the guts out of  the river between the two national parks. We all need to get them out of the river and make it a marine park like jervis bay. Recreation activities will bring more cash in the long run. Later we had some friends meet us for a day fishing and got them to park the car at spencer and picked them at the jetty and took them over for lunch and a later for a fish before dropping them back to head back to town which took them 2 hrs.

best camp spot in sydney

Overall It was easy, very private and lots off fun. The Pontoon boat was perfect for the Hawkesbury river. I would be happy to set anyone up for the best adventure 1 hr out of sydney off the grid. Let me know and I get you a great rate for the Pontoon boat. I didn't get to wisemans ferry for lunch or try to get up to st albans Pub with the boat or camp off Patonga that will have to wait for my next Boat camping adventure.

Forget About The Blue Mountains.

Just had some guest over from Japan who were going to go to the Blue Mountains for the day and decided to get out on the harbour. We pulled into the fish markets and went upstairs to one of the best kept secrets in Sydney Fish Market, Fisherman's Wharf Yum Cha. This is my favorite place to have yum cha as the seafood used is the freshest. You can go to the fish markets for years and still not know this behemoth was even there as the entrance is right amongst the hussell and bussell on the main mall and the restaurant is a full floor up stairs. The service is shocking, However it's  all part of the fun and theater just don't sit back be active when you order and dont be pushed into dishes you don't want and order with waiter twice and they will make it fresh. The seafood/ prawn dumpling are grouse and the Pearl River lager beer goes down well. The kids love the mango pudding with cream and won't share so be warned.

We didn't over do it Just a few shared dishes amongst the crew as I had a cunning plan,  So I pick up some fresh  SA Coffin Bay oysters  and Sydney Rocks Oysters to compare and some local ocean king prawns for my overseas visitors, some Fresh Sliced Sashimi with a sliced up fresh lemon. along with a cold  bottle of  Oyster Bay Savon Blanc from the bottle shop, who had some plastic wine glasses ready to go for a cruise around the harbour.

We just had a shy sports star over from Japan with a  few freinds, who was going to go to the Blue Mountains for the day and decided they wanted to take us up on our offer to get out on to Sydney Harbour instead in one of our Pontoon Hire Boats. We first pulled into the fish markets 10 minutes after boarding as they had just got off the jet in the morning and were very hungry.

I took everyone upstairs to one of the best-kept secrets in the Sydney Fish Market,  "Fisherman's Wharf Yum Cha." This is my favorite place to have yum cha as the seafood is the freshest. You can go to the fish markets for years and still not know this behemoth was even there, as the entrance is right among the hustle and bustle in the main mall inside SFM and easy to miss as there is so much going on.

FYI the restaurant is a full floor upstairs with TV's, fish tanks and Karaoke. "Seriously, I didn't know this was there for 3 years." The service is shocking. However it's all part of the fun and theater just don't sit back, be active when you order and don't be pushed into dishes you don't want and be ready to order with a few reminders as they will make to order if pushed and will forget you if they can. Each glass of water will have to be individually ordered, you get the picture. That said its still good fun just not for the fainthearted.

The seafood/ prawn dumpling are great and the Pearl River larger beer goes down well. The kids love the mango pudding with cream and won't share it, so be warned.

We didn't over do it, Just a few shared dishes among the hungry crew as I had a cunning plan while everyone went back to the boat at the wharf. What  I did was pick up 24  fresh South Aussie Coffin Bay oysters  and Sydney Rocks Oysters for our guests to compare Australia's best A Grade oysters. We got some local ocean King prawns and some freshly sliced sashimi with a lemon. Popped over and grabbed a cold  bottle of Oyster Bay Savon Blanc from the bottle shop. The Manager has some plastic wine glasses ready to go so no glasses needed for the stunning cruise around Sydney Harbour. #sydney #sydneyfishmarkets #ilovesydney

Cafe Hopping and Grocery shopping with the Best Parking in #Sydney

It was a beautiful calm morning on the Sydney Harbour. However, a change was on its way, and there was a sprinkle of rain. So we headed to secret beach boat park in the middle of Sydney harbour for lunch at Thelma and Louise Cafe. www.sydneycharterboathire.com

It was a beautiful calm morning on the Sydney Harbour. However, a change was on its way, and there was a sprinkle of rain. So we headed to secret beach boat park in the middle of Sydney harbour for lunch at Thelma and Louise Cafe.  We made our way to the bridge around the prime minister's house where there were 3 boats all in one small spot pulling in fish at the same time. I  made our way past the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron and weaved the boat passed the Neutral Bay ferry wharf to the neutral bay beach.H

Yes, thats what I said Neutral Bay beach where we could beach the boat while we had some lunch at this well little local cafe next to the pier.(http://www.thelmaandlouise.com.au.)

Book ahead for a table on the balcony. As the well-heeled locals have it all worked out, the staff reserved the tables for half the day waiting for them to come in, so they are ready for customers. It's a standard cafe menu with generous portions. They try to focus on organic and a twist of Lebanese and seafood for mains. The coffee should be good as its Campos one of my favorite Sydney beans. That said, on the day the barista didn't do a great  job some of the best beans in Sydney. It looks like the menu was expensive, however, when  I saw the size of the meals coming out I was wondering if the customers would get through it. So I shared a Lebanese falafel roll with my wife. It was very fresh with a touch of mint. The neighbours ordered the special seafood risotto; it was large and impressive. I will order the chicken sandwich next time as the 60 yr old man next to me had his work cut for him as it was quite large. We took a few photos and walked down the stairs to the beach, and the boat was less than 100m from the cafe  in view from the window. We headed back to the west side of the harbour as the wife wanted to drop into the fish market. There's Japanese Lad, who works in one of the popular shops called the Claudio's. He prepares the salmon in the different Japanese cuts, so you can put it straight on the table  and rest in the freezer. I know this may not sound like the luxury cruise around the Harbour and more like your normal weekend cafe hopping and grocery shopping. Call me crazy its just so much fun doing it on a boat taking in the sights and the fresh air. Having fresh sushi  and sashimi when you get home just tops the day off. #sydney #sydneyboathire #boathire #Ilovesydney
