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.

First Impressions of Illawong

We drove around our new suburb (Illawong) today, getting to know the streets and enjoying the unique scenery of Illawong. Already we've seen a kangaroo bound across Fowler Road, bright red rosellas, and kookaburras on the rare telephone wires (all the services/cabling are underground, meaning that Illawong enjoys a bush setting with large trees that aren't rudely pruned). Here's some photos I took today around Illawong.... gorgeous.
