Harley tour of northern beaches – Adam 16.04.22

Adam loved his Eastern Panorama tour yesterday so, he did another one today. This time a Harley tour of northern beaches, the beach areas north of Sydney CBD.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Pat, our Harley rider, picked Adam up from his hotel in the CBD. Firstly, they rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We always tell our passengers to look up and enjoy the unique view. The more than 6,000,000 rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic. It’s nicknamed ‘The Coathanger’ because of its arch-based design. It is the largest steel arch bridge in the world.

lower North Shore suburbs

Continuing north east, they rode through Cremorne, Mosman and down past the Taronga Zoo to Bradleys Head. Make sure you look for the koalas eating and sleeping in the gum trees. So far, the bucket list trike tour was a huge success.

Bradleys Head and Balmoral Beach

Similarly, Bradleys Head has wonderful views across Sydney Harbour to the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge and the CBD. Riding on, they rode past the lovely posh Balmoral Beach. Everyone who comes here loves it! Balmoral Beach is not so well known by visitors and tourists, but the stunning natural beauty of the beach and surrounds make it well worth a visit. Crossing the Spit Bridge is fun, it has great views of Middle Harbour.

After Balmoral Beach they continued on past, Seaforth and Clontarf before stopping at Tania Park. Tania Park is on Dobroyd Head with stunning views looking across Sydney Harbour and through North and South Heads. Arabanoo lookout at Dobroyd Head is named in honour of Arabanoo, the first Aboriginal man to live among European settlers. It’s a great spot for whale watching, offering views over North and South Head and the Pacific Ocean.

Manly, Freshwater, Curl Curl, Dee Why etc

They rode up past Queenscliff, which is really northern Manly. Then they rode past Freshwater,  Curl Curl, Dee Why and Long Reef. All such beautiful beaches. So far, the Harley tour of northern beaches was a lot of fun. Already they had seen so many of the beautiful places many visitors to Sydney don’t get to see.

Pittwater

Next, they turned left and headed up the hill to get a photo overlooking Narrabeen. Continuing up the peninsula as far as Newport where we detoured away from the beach side. Travelling inland slightly meant they could take in the views of lovely Pittwater. There is an abundance of sailing boats, trees, water and a relaxed atmosphere.

“Home and Away”

Then the tour went via Bilgola Plateau, Clareville, Careel Bay and Avalon before reaching Whale Beach. Between Whale Beach and Palm Beach is the Palm Beach Bible Garden. It has spectacular views over Palm Beach. After a stop, a stretch and a look at the view, they headed to Palm Beach. It is the home of the long running TV series “Home and Away”. However, the 3 hour tour was just over halfway done, so Pat turned around and they headed back to Sydney.

Narrabeen Lagoon

They rode via Narrabeen Lagoon (also referred to as Narrabeen Lake) is Sydney’s Northern Beaches largest estuary system located just behind the world famous surfing beach at Narrabeen. It is a haven for wildlife.

After riding along a part of it, they rode up the Parkway to Oxford Falls. The Oxford Falls are two waterfalls on Middle Creek, which flows north to meet Oxford Creek. Meandering Creek flows into Middle Creek. Garigal National Park borders the suburb, to the north.

Wakehurst Parkway

This joins the Wakehurst Parkway. We love the Wakehurst Parkway because the legal speed is faster than most Sydney limits. This road led to Seaforth where they stopped to see the lovely view of Middle Harbour. Back over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and to Adam’s hotel. In conclusion, the Harley tour of northern beaches was great fun and memorable. Adam saw so may sights that most visitors to Sydney don’t see.

Hi Katrina,
All good for you to share the pictures, Pat is superb.
I will try and post a review this week.

Harley ride celebration – Lorraine + Stephen 15.04.22

Lorraine and her husband organised the Harley ride celebration to make their anniversary special. They had a great time, Stephen did a BridgeClimb the previous day. He said the Harley rides were much better. ☺️

Our Harley riders Phil + David, picked the passengers up from Coogee. They rode through the south eastern suburbs of Sydney.

Centennial Park

Riding through the huge Centennial Park is a lovely experience. 120 fields and venues, and 35+ different sports played in the Centennial Parklands. It is the largest community sports precinct in Australia! The history is also interesting: “Originally a swamp and then set aside as land for the water source for Sydney. Centennial Park was reconstructed as a public park and opened in 1888. Sir Henry Parkes’ vision was to create a ‘People’s Park’ in which the citizens of Sydney could ‘take in the air’ away from the Sydney town centre.”

Sydney Opera House

Next, they rode through the city to the roundabout at the Sydney Opera House. This is as close as we are allowed to go to the SOH.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Firstly, they rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We always tell our passengers to look up and enjoy the unique view. The more than 6,000,000 rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic. It’s nicknamed ‘The Coathanger’ because of its arch-based design. It is the largest steel arch bridge in the world.

Blues Point Reserve

Continuing on, they rode on through Milsons Point, did a left hand turn and rode up a few streets. This lead to Blues Point Reserve. The views over Blues Bay towards the Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and the CBD are just stunning. All the more stunning because of the lovely weather. Another perfect place for photos.

The Kirribilli Loop

They rode under the north side of the bridge and continued on their tour. The underside of the northern end of the SHB – Sydney Harbour Bridge – is very interesting. The Kirribilli Loop was finished by riding past Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool. So far, on the The Sydney Harbour Bridge tour they were seeing great views and some Sydney icons.

Mrs Macquarie’s Point

Half way through their hour long ride, so they rode back over the Sydney Harbour Bridge, past the Royal Botanical Gardens to Mrs Macquarie’s Point. It has beautiful views looking west towards the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. They walked down to Mrs Macquarie’s Chair. Mrs Macquarie’s Chair is an exposed sandstone rock cut into the shape of a bench, on a peninsula in Sydney Harbour. It was hand carved by convicts in 1810, for Elizabeth Macquarie, the wife of Major-General Lachlan Macquarie, Governor of NSW. So far, the Harley ride celebration was not just a lot of fun but also a learning experience.

Driving along this road, you will also see the beautiful Art Gallery of NSW.

Eastern suburbs

Next, they rode through the inner eastern suburb of Woolloomoolloo and past the famous Harry Cafe De Wheels. Harry’s Café de Wheels has been serving customers for over 80 years. They make delicious pies, hotdogs and more. Continuing on, they rode through the infamous Kings Cross, though it has calmed down a lot since it’s heyday – home of the famous and huge Coca Cola sign. Kings Cross is also home to nightclubs and ladies of the night though it is not nearly as raunchy as it was in the 1970s (apparently).

After there, they headed west through the posh suburbs of the eastern suburbs of Sydney, including the Bays: Rose Bay, Double Bay and Rushcutters Bay.

Bondi Beach

Further east they came to the famous Bondi Beach. Here they stopped for photos and why not with this view! Just to the left of this photo is the the world famous tower of the Bondi Lifeguards of the Bondi Rescue TV series. They stopped at the famous Bondi Beach for photos, when in Sydney it is one of the places you should visit. The beach is seriously nice (but not our favourite) and we usually stop near the lifeguard station, made famous by the TV series “Bondi Rescue”. Bondi Beach is one of the most visited tourist sites in Australia. Bondi Beach is recorded by the Australian Museum that Bondi means place where a fight using boondi sticks (nullas nullas or fighting sticks) took place.

However, time was up so the Harley riders dropped them back at their hotel in Coogee. The Harley ride anniversary celebration was a huge success, so memorable and so much fun.

Harley ride celebration, it made their anniversary special. Sydney Australia.

Harley tours eastern Sydney – Adam 15.04.22

Adam loves motorbikes, Harley Davidsons in particular. He decided to do a Harley tours eastern Sydney. Yes, it’s a great way to see the sights and a bit more exciting than the usual car or bus.

Our Harley rider Pat, picked Adam up from his accommodation in the CBD. Adam was so excited to be doing the 3 hours Harley ride, he couldn’t wipe the smile off his face. ? We love it!

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Firstly, they rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We always tell our passengers to look up and enjoy the unique view. The more than 6,000,000 rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic. It’s nicknamed ‘The Coathanger’ because of its arch-based design. It is the largest steel arch bridge in the world.

Kirribilli

Next, they rode past Kirribilli House. Kirribilli House is the secondary official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia. After that, they rode around the corner to Jeffrey Street Wharf. From here, the views across Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney Opera House and the CBD are magnificent. In addition, it also has an up-close view of the side and underneath of the bridge. A perfect place to stop for photos.

The Kirribilli Loop

They rode under the north side of the bridge and continued on their tour. The underside of the northern end of the SHB – Sydney Harbour Bridge – is very interesting. The Kirribilli Loop was finished by riding past Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool. So far, on the Sydney Harbour Bridge trike tours they were seeing great views and some Sydney icons. Then it was back over the ‘The Coathanger’.

Centennial Park

Sir Henry Parkes’ vision was to create a ‘People’s Park’ in which the citizens of Sydney could ‘take in the air’ away from the Sydney town centre.”

Bronte Beach and Tamarama Beach

Next, they rode east to Bronte Beach and then north to the tiny but picturesque Tamarama Beach. It’s lovely to look out to the South Pacific Ocean from any of the beaches. So far, the Harley tours eastern Sydney was just that – a lot of fun.

Bondi Beach

Further north they came to the famous Bondi Beach. Here they stopped for photos and why not with this view! Just to the left of this photo is the the world famous tower of the Bondi Lifeguards of the Bondi Rescue TV series.

birthday gift, a Harley tour – Alex 16.04.22

Alex’s Dad organised the birthday gift, a Harley tour. Alex is obsessed with motorbikes so this was a great birthday gift for him.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Firstly, they rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We always tell our passengers to look up and enjoy the unique view. The more than 6,000,000 rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic.

Kirribilli

Next, they rode past Kirribilli House. Kirribilli House is the secondary official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia. After that, they rode around the corner to Jeffrey Street Wharf. From here, the views across Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney Opera House and the CBD are magnificent. In addition, it also has an up-close view of the side and underneath of the bridge. A perfect place to stop for photos.

The Kirribilli Loop

They rode under the north side of the bridge and continued on their tour. The underside of the northern end of the SHB – Sydney Harbour Bridge – is very interesting. The Kirribilli Loop was finished by riding past Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool.

They continued riding on through North Sydney and Crows Nest before joining River Road. It is a fun road to ride on. River Road leads to Burns Bay Road which, in turn, leads to another bridge but not one of the main three.

Fig Tree Bridge, Tarban Creek Bridge, Gladesville Bridge

The Fig Tree Bridge opened in 1963 and spans the Lane Cove River. After that bridge, they continued on and crossed the second of the bridges Tarban Creek Bridge. This spans Tarban Creek, likewise, it has nice views east to the Harbour Bridge. Then they got to bridge #2 of the main 3 Bridges, the Gladesville Bridge. It has wonderful views along Parramatta River towards the Harbour Bridge and the city.

This bridge is on the main arterial thoroughfare of Victoria Road. They travelled along for a short while before turning off into the inner west suburb of Drummoyne. Following the shoreline of Iron Cove, which is part of the Parramatta River, they saw some lovely water views. It is part of the 7 km long Bay Run. So far, the birthday gift, a Harley tour, was such fun.

ANZAC Bridge

Our favourite bridge is the ANZAC Bridge. We think it is incredible, a work of art and design. It is main bridge #3. Similarly, it is also great to see without a roof over your head inhibiting the view.

Most noteworthy, the stay cable design concept development and final design for the new bridge were carried out by the Roads & Traffic Authority of NSW. Finally, the bridge was opened to traffic on 03 December 1995 as the Glebe Island Bridge.

The bridge was given its current name on Remembrance Day in 1998 to honour the memory of the soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (known as Anzacs) who served in World War I.

However, the hour was up so Phil dropped Alex back home. The birthday gift, a Harley tour, was a great experience, a fun and memorable one. Also, a great way to see parts of the city only the locals know about.

wedding transfer to their hotel – Daryle + Elizabeth 02.04.22

Daryle and Elizabeth finally had their big day today! It had been postponed a couple of times due to covid. Elizabeth thought it would be fun to organise a wedding transfer to their hotel.

They had their reception on a Tall Ship on Sydney Harbour. It was running late but our trike rider Brian, stayed around the pick up place, Campbells Cove. He waited to see if they would arrive in time before he left for his next job. They did, with 15 mins to spare. Brian would have taken them on a tour but they wanted to straight to their hotel. Getting married sure is a big event and a tiring day.

They were very happy with their trike ride and the wedding transfer to their hotel.

Campbells Cove

Pick up was at Campbells Cove which is situated on the north-western side of Sydney Harbour. It is very close to Walsh Bay, The Rocks and the Overseas Passenger Terminal.

The first use by the colonials of the land on which the Campbell’s Bond Stores were built appears to have been to graze sheep on the shores of what had yet to be named Campbell’s Cove. The land was leased to Henry Waterhouse, commander of the Reliance, in 1794. Two years later he went to the Cape of Good Hope and brought back a flock of sheep from Spain, which were the first merinos to arrive in New South Wales.

https://www.trolltours.com.au/product/design-your-own-ride/ Some interesting history: http://www.visitsydneyaustralia.com.au/campbells-cove.html

Sydney Harbour

Sydney Harbour is an aquatic playground for Sydneysiders, with more than 240 kilometres (150 miles) of shoreline, punctuated by unspoiled beaches, picturesque gardens and pockets of natural bush. It is also home to some of Australia’s big-name attractions, including the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. We can take you on a trike or Harley tour to see many places around the harbour.

Harley and trike birthday transfer – Kobylinski Family 01.04.22

Jeanine organised the Harley and trike birthday transfer for her partner. Birthday’s are worth celebrating and this one was in style!

Our trike rider Brian and Harley rider Alan, picked the four passengers up from home in the inner west. They travelled through the city to:

Mrs Macquarie’s Point

Riding past the Royal Botanical Gardens to Mrs Macquarie’s Point was next. It has beautiful views looking west towards the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. They ride past Mrs Macquarie’s Chair. Mrs Macquarie’s Chair is an exposed sandstone rock cut into the shape of a bench, on a peninsula in Sydney Harbour. It was hand carved by convicts in 1810, for Elizabeth Macquarie, the wife of Major-General Lachlan Macquarie, Governor of NSW. The Art Gallery of NSW is also on this road and is just beautiful to ride past.

Kings Cross

Next, they rode through the inner eastern suburb of Woolloomoolloo and past the famous Harry Cafe De Wheels. Harry’s Café de Wheels has been serving customers for over 80 years. They make delicious pies, hotdogs and more. Continuing on, they rode through the infamous Kings Cross, though it has calmed down a lot since it’s heyday – home of the famous and huge Coca Cola sign. Kings Cross is also home to nightclubs and ladies of the night though it is not nearly as raunchy as it was in the 1970s (apparently). So far, the Harley and trike birthday transfer was a lot of fun.

Eastern suburbs

After there, they headed west through the posh suburbs of the eastern suburbs of Sydney, including the Bays: Rose Bay, Double Bay and Rushcutters Bay. North Bondi is worth a stop with its lovely views over Bondi and Bondi Beach.

Bondi Beach

However, the hour was up so they rode to the famous Bondi Beach. The world famous tower of the Bondi Lifeguards of the Bondi Rescue TV series is here. When in Sydney the famous Bondi Beach is one of the places you should visit. The beach is seriously nice (but not our favourite) and we usually stop near the lifeguard station, made famous by the TV series “Bondi Rescue”. For instance, Bondi Beach is one of the most visited tourist sites in Australia. Bondi Beach is recorded by the Australian Museum that Bondi means place where a fight using boondi sticks (nullas nullas or fighting sticks) took place.

Our riders dropped the passengers at Bondi to have some dinner. There are heaps of cafes and restaurants in Bondi and along the beach promenade. In conclusion, the Harley and trike birthday transfer was a success – you can see by the smiles. What a way to celebrate a birthday!
