The Thousands

Having spent a staunchly inner west childhood, things north of the bridge are still an unfolding mystery to me. The discovery process was expedited some years back, when North Sydney became a synonym for becoming heavily pissed on Thursday nights at the various places tucked in that concrete jungle. Since then, adult tastes have brought a need for arguably healthier activities and it was this that led some friends to introduce Sawmillers Reserve. Hidden just down the road from the Blues Point Hotel is a little waterside park complete with shipwreck.**Its position nestled down on Berry’s Bay provides an incredible vista across the harbour, and is handily serviced by the wine emporiums and delis of McMahon’s Point, making it a nigh-on perfect harbourside picnic locale. It’s all just so civilized, my dear.
