Please Limit all Toomfoolery: Dolls Point and Sandringham

Before I start, I realise that my last few posts have been beach-type suburbs all next to each other and you might be getting bored of reading those. So, here's two more.

Dolls Point

Just like Sans Souci from my previous post, Dolls Point also sounds pretty fancy. Unfortunately, it doesn't translate to "No Worries", "Cheers Big-ears", "How's it garn" or any other Australianisms, so it does lose a couple of points on that front.

Dolls Point is another tiny suburb that starts as you leave the very lovely Cook Park. The first street in this suburb has tyre spikes on it, which suggests to me that the good people of Dolls Point aren't a fan of riff-raff. As a man who is a proud member of riff-raff, I kept walking.

Whereas Sans Souci sounded fancier than it actually was, Dolls Point seems pretty fancy.

For instance, this house only allows garaged cars.

You can tell that this school is fancy because it uses the word Preparatory and the fact that the little kid is wearing Dr Harry's hat.

A Google search suggests a yearly fee of $35,000 to send your little munchkin to the Scots College. Interesting building though.

I kept walking and eventually reached the lovely recreational area and beach which marks the southern end of Dolls Point.

Crossing this little bridge leads to the next suburb...

Dolls Point: If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

Sandringham

Unlike my last couple of spots, I was now back to a suburb I'd never heard of. Sandringham's a little bigger than some of the tiny suburbs I've visited, but you're still not getting too much for your money.

The "Sandringham" half of the park I crossed into starts off with a tiny creek which appears to trickle into the ocean.

The park then exits into some modest but nice enough looking apartments. While Dolls Point had a bit of an "old money" feel to it, Sandringham felt a little more down to earth (being Sydney though, a flat in these apartments probably costs like $50 million to buy regardless).

That being said, this guy has built a pretty impressive looking castle.

And grumpy has a pretty sweet gate into their house.

I didn't see too much that caught my eye in Sandringham, just some suburban parkland and this strange poster of someone giving a Nazi a solid roundhouse kick.
