Cathy organised a surprise birthday trike transfer for herself and her bestie. It was a fantastic surprise and a huge success! Cathy was so organised that she started organising the surprise birthday trike transfer 3 months before the ride! We love people who are very organised (we also love those who aren’t.?).

Elderslie, southwest of Sydney

Our trike rider Brian, on a blue trike, picked up our passengers from Elderslie. Elderslie is approx 70kms southwest of Sydney. Usually we can pick up from anywhere in the outer Sydney area. Just ask us for ideas of routes, in other words, we are sure we can help you out.

Kirribill, Sydney Harbour.

So, Brian picked them up from Elderslie, in the south west of Sydney. They rode through so many suburbs of western Sydney. It made for a very interesting ride.

He wanted to make the transfer (tour) interesting, so he took the passengers to Kirribilli. Kirribilli is on the north side of Sydney Harbour.

The view from here is amazing. The haze you can see behind our passengers is because of the fires. The fires are a few hundred kilometres north of Sydney. We are really upset and worried about the fires. There are roughly 100 fires as we type but, more start regularly. This is unprecedented. ?

Sydney Harbour Bridge

After this, they rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. However, look up and enjoy the view most people don’t have. There is no roof to block your view!!

Unfortunately, time was up so Brian dropped our passengers off at The Rocks. Cathy had organised a surprise lunch for Kellee and herself. What a great present!! In conclusion, the surprise birthday trike transfer was a huge success. A present that will always be remembered – for the good times!

The Rocks is a neighbourhood of historic laneways in the shadow of Sydney Harbour Bridge. Locals and tourists mingle at the open-air Rocks Markets, purchasing street food and handmade fashions. The area has some of Sydney’s oldest pubs and many of the upscale restaurants have harbour views. The Museum of Contemporary Art offers local and international exhibits. Buskers perform along the busy harbourfront promenade.

Cathy has been on a trike ride with us before. Her carer rang asking us to organise another trike ride. We emailed a few maps of routes we could do in two hours, leaving from the home. We all decided the southern beaches trike tour was the best tour to do.

southern beaches

So, our trike rider Syl, picked them up from the southern suburb of Beverly Hills. Firstly they drove to San Sousi which is on the Georges River. Next, they rode through Brighton Le Sands, which follows part of Botany Bay. This lead them along the southern edge of the airport to the lovely La Perouse, on the east of Botany Bay.

eastern beaches

After that, they rode north along the eastern beaches of Maroubra, Coogee, Bronte and Tamarama. They stopped at Bondi Beach for a stretch and for photos.

However, time was almost up so they headed back home. Syl dropped them off and, in conclusion, the southern beaches trike tour was a huge success. The smiles on the photos says it all!

Testimonial

Hi Katrina,

Thanks very much for the receipt and photos. We both enjoyed the trip very much and Sylvio was wonderful.

Thanks, once again.

Lieutenant James Cook first landed at Kurnell, on the southern banks of Botany Bay, in what is now Silver Beach, on Sunday 29 April 1770, when navigating his way up the east coast of Australia on his ship, HMS Endeavour. Cook’s landing marked the beginning of Britain’s interest in Australia and in the eventual colonisation of this new “southern continent”.

Initially the name Stingrays Harbour was used by Cook and other journal keepers on his expedition, for the stingrays they caught. That name was also recorded on an Admiralty chart. Cook’s log for 6 May 1770 records “The great quantity of these sort of fish found in this place occasioned my giving it the name of Stingrays Harbour”. However, in the journal prepared later from his log, Cook wrote instead: (sic) “The great quantity of plants Mr. Banks and Dr. Solander found in this place occasioned my giving it the name of Botanist Botany Bay”.

Eighteen years later, in 1788, Governor Arthur Phillip sailed the armed tender HMS Supply into the bay on 18 January.

Our American passengers really loved the idea of the southern spectacular trike ride. We discussed the route and they booked it. As they wrote “Thank you Katrina. It’s all good….looking forward to this trip !!” They loved it!

southern spectacular trike ride

Therefore, our trike rider Barry picked them up from their hotel in the city. He took them on the southern spectacular trike ride. They increased the trike tour to 5 hours. This included lunch (to a certain value).

The Royal National Park

Firstly, they rode through Sydney city to the south through the Royal National Park. The Royal National Park is Australia’s first National Park and after Yellowstone in the U.S.A. was the second National Park in the world to be established.

Interestingly, the park was originally named The National Park but this was changed in 1955 after a quick visit by Queen Elizabeth II to the Royal National Park. It was created as a people’s park in 1879 and the park covers an area of 132 sq km.

Coalcliff and Clifton

After travelling through the relaxing natural Australian bush, we travel the road between Coalcliff and Clifton, it used to have some scary moments. The potential of falling debris or subsidence into the sea made it necessary to close the road, but all is well again.

Sea Cliff Bridge

However, the impressive 665 metre Sea Cliff Bridge is now in operation, snaking its way around the cliffs and over the water, offering a far safer but spectacular route.

lunch at a cafe

Just over halfway through the tour, they stopped for lunch at a cafe. In other words, we stop for photos, to stretch the body and also to eat and drink (if prearranged). It was good food, good drinks and a great time.

However, time was almost up so they headed home (hotel) via the Bulli Pass and Princes Highway. In conclusion, the southern spectacular trike ride was a huge success. Importantly, Jeno and Vasile loved the whole experience, they’d do it again!

Robert contacted us to organise a surprise 60th trike transfer for his wife. Fiona is turning 60 and Robert wanted to celebrate in style. We sorted out a route he was happy with and we put the plan into action.

Northern Beaches

Our trike rider Craig, picked Robert and Fiona up from home on the Northern Beaches. Firstly, they rode along the major thoroughfare of Mona Vale Road. This leads to the suburb of Terry Hills. Continuing on, they rode down Mccarrs Creek Road, stopping at Mccarrs Creek for a photo. This area overlooks Scotland Island which is full of artists.

For instance, Scotland Island is a thriving, vibrant and welcoming community situated in the Pittwater estuary. In addition, around 1000 people live here, some as weekenders, others as permanent residents.

Accessed by water only, the island is a refuge for natural forests, bushland reserves and native animals.

Church Point

After that, a stretch and a photo shoot, they then continued on to Church Point. However, this was their drop off point. Fiona and Robert were going to enjoy a relaxing, celebratory night away from reality.

the surprise 60th trike transfer was a huge success

In conclusion, the surprise 60th trike transfer was a huge success. Fiona (and Robert) loved the whole experience. Importantly, our Harley and trike tours and rides are not necessarily a one off. We have many repeat customers, once again or many times over.

Church Point is roughly 40 kms north of Sydney CBD. It is part of the beautiful Northern Beaches area.

Terrey Hills is a very leafy suburb and in some areas semi-rural, with many people boarding their horses in the area. Moreover, Terrey Hills owes its name to the two original land holders Samuel Hills and Obediah James Terrey. Similarly, Obediah Terrey acquired 640 acres (2.6 km²) in 1881 and Samuel Hills owned 100 acres (0.40 km²) nearby.

Abby turned 18! What does a dad and mum do to celebrate? Something that is different to the norm? Something that she will remember for ever! An 18th birthday trike tour was the idea and it was a good one.

Craig picked up Abby and Noah on Carrington Street, Wynyard. They live on the northern beaches but Dad thought it would be a bit boring to ride around their ‘backyard’. So they caught a bus to Wynyard.

The Eastern Panorama tour

The Eastern Panorama was the chosen tour. Firstly, they rode through the city and past the Botanical Gardens. Government house is situated in the gardens. The Art Gallery of New South Wales is also on this route. It is such a beautiful building. The Gallery’s first public exhibition opened in 1874.

Mrs Macquarie’s Point

A fantastic view of the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge will be found from Mrs Macquarie’s Point. This is close to Mrs Macquarie’s Chair which we will only see if there is time – it is a short walk.

After that, they travelled through Woolloomooloo, past Finger Wharf and the iconic Harry’s Cafe De Wheels. This road leads up into the infamous Kings Cross. It is the red light district of Sydney and it really is interesting.

From here, they rode through the lovely upper class suburbs of Rushcutters Bay, Double Bay and Rose Bay. In addition, the views are lovely as some of the route follows the waters edge of Sydney Harbour.

Watsons Bay and the Gap

Next, was Watsons Bay, mostly made famous because of a fish and chip restaurant. The view across Sydney Harbour is towards Middle Cove ?. Stopping at The Gap nearby is always interesting. The view is wonderful out to the Tasman Sea.

Bondi Beach, Tamarama and Bronte Beaches

Of course, the ride has to go to the famous Bondi Beach. Here you will see the lifeguard tower (and possibly some lifeguards) made famous by the TV show, Bondi Rescue. Tamarama and Bronte Beaches. In addition, there was enough time to ride though Centennial Park, it is a huge parkland.

However, by now time was up so they were dropped off to continue celebrating. In conclusion, the 18th birthday trike tour was a huge success.

This itinerary can be changed to suit your personal requirements if required.
