Manly Beach
When I was younger I would visit my Nana in Sydney, and she would take me on the ferry to Manly. My earliest memories of Sydney are sitting on the wall eating ice cream along the beach. Last year when we had just 24 hours in Sydney, I took my girls over to Manly Beach for ice cream. It’s definitely one of my more sentimental spots in Australia.
I can relate to your sentiments, Kin. My first 3 nights after arriving in Australia from UK were spent in Manly. I always go for a visit when I am up in Sydney.
I lived in Manly for a couple of years.
Now I’m ‘out in the bush’, but I love to take my kids across in the Manly ferry when we are in Sydney. My husband spent holidays with Gran each year - she lived in this very cool spot!
Manly is lovely but I’m an absolute Maroubra and Coogee fan myself
Although you definitely have a great point about the ferry. We take the kids to Sydney all the time but haven’t gone on a ferry ride yet and I just know they would love it!!!
