Governor Phillip Park — Attraction in Sydney

We had a great time at Governor Philip Park in Palm Beach, Sydney. We arrived in the morning and explored the local market set up until 3 PM, which was a fun experience with some amazing finds, especially the donuts – the best we've had in a long time!

Afterward, we made our way to the lighthouse to enjoy stunning views of both sides of the beach. The walk up to the lighthouse was quite steep and challenging, taking about 1.5 hours round trip, but the views at the top made it all worth it.

Later, we did a BBQ in the picnic area. Although some of the hot plates were dirty and half of them weren't working initially, after cleaning, they worked well. We enjoyed cooking with a lovely view of the beach and even spotted some bunnies hopping around, which added a cute touch to the day.

If you are looking for a great location for a day trip, one hours drive north of Sydney, you would do well to consider Palm Beach and its environs. Governor Phillip Park has been recently renovated and her facilities for both kids and parents are fabulous. A replica of the cutter Governor Arthur Phillip sailed on, as he passed these shores in 1788, in search of fertile farming grounds, for the burgeoning settlement of Sydney, defines the lay out of the new park. There are lots of large free BBQs for public use. A huge undercover trestle table has seen many a party, but you will need to get there early to secure that one.
