Cremorne Point Reserve, Sydney Harbour

Image
Within sight of The Opera House, Harbour Bridge and the busy CBD, Kookaburras, Honeyeaters, Magpies, and Rainbow Lorikeets feed from the many flowering shrubs and trees at Cremorne Point Reserve.  Lizards sun themselves on the outcrops of sandstone, and bats feed on the figs and date palms on the shore. Cremorne Reserve vegetation comprises highly ornamental exotic gardens, open lawn areas and indigenous bushland. A stand of northern rainforest tree species exists with Brushbox, Weeping Figs and a Hoop Pine provide shade for tree ferns and small ground ferns.  Walks along the shoreline is popular all year round, the unique Sydney Harbourscape offering a daily menu of fresh air, breathtaking views, and feeling of satisfaction to walkers looking across at the bustling city which is near, but yet, still so far away.  Cremorne Bathing Pool 1929
