Description

Although it was only Spring in Sydney when I captured this pretty beach scene, the weather has been unusually warm for this time of year, hence my trip to Narrabeen - Collaroy beach to capture some of its beauty a few weeks ago.


[Information from 'Beachsafe website]
Narrabeen-Collaroy beach is Sydney's second longest beach. The 3.6 km long beach curves in a gentle east-facing arc between 20 m high Narrabeen Head in the north to rocks and low cliff at Collaroy Point, with beachfront houses and apartments backing much of the beach. The northern Narrabeen end was named after the daughter of the aboriginal chief at the time of early white settlement in the 1840s, while the southern Collaroy end was named after the paddle-wheel steamer "Collaroy" wrecked on the beach in 1884. Collaroy Beach was a weekenders and campers haven in the early part of the century.
