For these next couple of posts, we're heading into Ku Ring Gai Chase National Park, a big-ole patch of bush in the north of the city. You may not know this (I didn't) but this national park actually has seven suburbs encased within it (eight, if you count Ku Ring Gai Chase itself). Of those seven, only one has road access. This is that one.
Cottage Point
As previously mentioned, Cottage Point sits inside Ku Ring Gai Chase National Park. This isn't the kind of place you get to by public transport, but luckily I had a mate with me today who was driving our chariot. Since I was riding shotgun, I got to take dashboard pictures on the windy roads into the land of cottage.
Of course, the water is right here, but the worry is whether there is actually any public access to the water, or if the shores of Cottage Point are reserved for those living in said cottages.
A sign pointing to the "public wharf" quickly dispelled any concerns, however.
Follow the path down, and you'll reach Cottage Point Wharf, one of the many seemingly unknown patches of waterside perfection that this city has within its borders.
We followed the path back to street level, where we continued to the extremities of the suburb. Here, there's a yacht club,and a tuk tuk indicating another pathway to a local business.
Following the path down leads to Cottage Point Kiosk, a general store, cafe, and boat dealer,
neatly packaged in a handy water-side location.
