Barrenjoey to Summer Bay
Remember Red Roo Adventures that I posted about here? Earlier this month Tania (of Red Roo) and I spent a glorious morning on Sydney’s northern beaches photographing one of the walks that will be available in the not too distant.
I’m not generally a morning person, but to step out onto pristine beach, with not many people about and be able to just *be*…. well… Sigh! let’s just say I now have a very happy appreciation for the mornings.
In the distance stood one of our milestones… the beautiful Barrenjoey Lighthouse, and to the right, you can see what the beach looks like early in the morning ![]()

I’ve had this walk on my list for some time now, so I was really excited to finally be doing it… But Red Roo Adventures have this on the list and a whole lot more. Seriously folks, even Sydneysiders should be checking out what this team are up to…

I love this shot…
This lighthouse has some gorgeous features and an interesting history… and not only that, if you were just visiting the lighthouse, you might be forgiven for having a little poke around and then heading on back down to the beach. It takes some local knowledge to explore up there, and Red Roo have got it covered.

And without wanting to spoil that, or the rest of the walk, the next lot of images are back on the beach where we started. Can you guess where yet?

You got it…. the set of Home and Away is just one of the cool things to have a look at when you get down from the lighthouse. And as we sat, rehydrating with a drink from the Kiosk, and reflecting on the great walk we’d just had, we couldn’t help but think we had the best job in the world. For 9am on a Monday morning, it was a pretty cool place to be. And I know they say you should never work with animals and children but I quite often work with both, and this made my day.

Now we were only part way through the Red Roo walk, so I won’t spoil the rest but it was a great morning, and I wish Tania and her team every success on its launch, which of course I’ll be posting about here.
Enjoy!

great collection of images.. gives the feeling of wanting to go there
Mel, What a beautiful place and a contrast to the city, you have captured some wonderful images too! I would take the walk if it wasn’t so far away from Mackay in Qld. One day………..
