Even though I’ve lived in Sydney for almost twenty years, I’ve never been to La Perouse before today. I think it’s because I’m not much of a “beach person” (fair skin and all that). But when Sue texted me today and asked me if I wanted to go, I quickly said yes.

And why not? The weather today was spectacular. Blue skies. Definitely not too hot. It was perfect weather for wandering around the beach, having an ice-cream, and having a chat about life, the universe and everything.

The coastline is really beautiful. There’s some really wonderful sandstone.

There were lots of people basking in the glory of the South Sydney win in the NRL, wearing their jerseys. “When do you think they’ll take them off?”, Sue wondered.

    It was a nice tram journey, an elderly friend informed me once. I believe even the bus trip now is quite nice.

      Yes we caught the bus (ses) and agreed, a really lovely trip. I caught the 393 from near my house, which took us to Little Bay, and then the L94. The L94 for return also. A fair bit to look at along the way including Long Bay Prison :)

      Thanks for the reminder that I’m elderly :-)) I remember that tram and have pics with the last tram that went to La Perouse.

    Greta pics that evoked many memories, including excursions as a child to see the snake charmer at La Perouse and traversing that rickety bridge to Bare Island.
