Stop 1: Camellia Gardens & Devonshire Tea at Jade Teahouse
Begin your journey at the serene E. G. Waterhouse Camellia Gardens in Caringbah. Wander through the beautifully landscaped gardens, admire the vibrant camellia blooms, and take in the peaceful surroundings. While here, enjoy a Devonshire Tea at Jade Teahouse, where you’ll be treated to freshly brewed tea or coffee alongside warm scones, jam, and cream.
Stop 2: Greenhills Sand Dunes – A Hollywood Backdrop
Next, visit the breathtaking Greenhills Sand Dunes, a striking landscape that has been featured in films such as Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, The Matrix, and The Great Gatsby. These vast, shifting dunes provide a dramatic setting and are a favorite location for photographers and film buffs alike.
Stop 3: Kurnell – Captain Cook’s Landing & Sculptures
Continue to Kurnell, where Captain James Cook made his first landing in 1770. Explore the Captain Cook’s Landing Place, walk the scenic coastal trails, and take in the outdoor sculptures, which commemorate both Indigenous and European histories. This area offers stunning ocean views and a deep sense of history.
Stop 4: Lunch at Cronulla RSL – Ocean Views & Relaxation
Head to Cronulla RSL for a relaxed lunch with breathtaking views over Bate Bay. Enjoy a selection of fresh seafood, gourmet dishes, and classic pub favorites, all while soaking in the refreshing sea breeze from the club’s waterfront dining area.
Stop 5: Oak Park, Bass & Flinders Point, and Gunnamatta Bay
After lunch, explore more of Cronulla’s coastal gems:
- Oak Park – A picturesque ocean pool surrounded by rugged headlands, perfect for a scenic stop.
- Bass & Flinders Point – Named after the famed explorers, this lookout offers panoramic views over Port Hacking.
- Gunnamatta Bay – A peaceful spot with calm waters, ideal for a leisurely stroll along the shore.
Final Stop: Coffee with a View at Gunnamatta Bay
To end the day, we collect a takeaway coffee or tea from our chosen local provider before settling in at Gunnamatta Bay. With coffee in hand, take a moment to relax and enjoy the tranquil waterfront views, reflecting on the day’s highlights in one of the Shire’s most peaceful locations.
