Blackwoods Beach was our first southern beach on this tour. We visited just after sunrise on the morning I flew back into Sydney from the United States; Mitch collected me at the airport and we went directly to the beach.
Blackwoods is 28 kilometres (17.5 miles) from home. It’s in Cronulla. I think I’ll save talking about Cronulla for when we visit Cronulla Beach. Let’s just say it’s a middle to upper middle class suburban neighbourhood which is home to predominantly multi-generation Australians of Anglo/Irish origins.
I nearly felt bad that we might disturb thy guy meditating on the beach, but we too quietly enjoyed the rising sun.
After our dip it was time for a welcome-home breakfast at The Nun’s Pool Cafe: Awesome!
Blackwoods Beach is in the Sutherland Shire LGA, the state district of Cronulla (Mark Speakman, Liberal) and federal division of Cook (Scott Morrison, Liberal).
