Barenjoey Lighthouse Hike



Last Sunday we took advantage of the beautiful Sydney weather and took the kids on a hike to the top of Barenjoey Lighthouse near Palm Beach.  For those who are unfamiliar, we live on a peninsula, Palm Beach is at the very end about 25k's from our house.  The lighthouse is at the very very end, with amazing views.




We took the kids on the same route Mark took me 6 1/2 years ago.  Up the smugglers steps and down the long path.  The kids were troopers, and I have to admit it was me on the way up the steps who suggested a short break.  Both loved seeing the lighthouse up close, throwing rocks over the cliff edges and generally just running around in the lovely winter's afternoon.



The long path on the way down has had an upgrade in the last 6 years and it made for an easy stroll.  We did manage to take about 1000 photos on our way up and down.  Once again was another great family adventure!-kel
