Illawong waterfront redevelopment

It's been a while since I last posted - I think I'm meant to blog regularly! We're loving living in Illawong more and more, the bush is just so beautiful and it changes through the seasons. The exciting news recently is that the council have widened their redevelopment plans to include the Illawong waterfront area (from the old boat ramp at Old Fowler Road through to Albert de Lardes reserve), as well as a possible boardwalk down Old Ferry Road. Apparently this is the only accessible waterfront in the Menai district. Will keep an eye on this, thanks to the progress association. Here's their latest newsletter.

Some more weblinks about Illawong and photos of Illawong

Beautiful photo of Lugarno Seafood Restaurant (yum by the way, best seafood platters) by Jessie Leong - the restaurant is opposite Illawong and is where the old punt/ferry from Illawong to Lugarno used to travel.
Old photo of Mystery Castle - wow! However....it's not there anymore. More to come on John Mystery who built Mystery/Adventure Castle on the end of the Illawong peninsular.
