Views of Sydney Harbour Bridge

My brother was kind enough to prepare some nice sandwich wraps for our Mother's Day family picnic outing on the weekend along with some tasty peeled Tiger prawns. We also had plenty of chips, olives, cheese, dip and bread to fill the stomachs while taking in the views of the waterways around Birchgrove and the city skyline in the distance. It's a nice spot with an interesting history although keep in mind the planted trees are fairly new so there's little shade from the sun to be found. The weekend seems to be very popular on a good day so street parking in very limited although thankfully it's free.

Other picnic spots visited in Sydney:

Laings Point Reserve - 7 Feb 2010
Centennial Park - 22 Nov 2009

SNAPSHOT REVIEW:

CONS: Limited parking when busy; Limited tree cover from the sun
MUST TRY: Exploring other picnic spots near the harbour
