La Perouse

I had bought new kayak carriers for the car online with free delivery which was great. No effort, at a good price and delivered right to the door. But as we have been told "life is not meant to be easy" and one of the support arms was faulty. I had to return them to Matraville for exchange. Matraville is next door to La Perouse so a walk and some lunch lightened the load of this chore and wasted day.

Bare Island. The old fort, built to protect us from a perceived threat from the russians in 1885. It is only open at weekends but you can walk across to the island.

The Macquarie Watchtower, built in 1821 to keep an eye on the "back door" to Sydney
