Northern beaches Harley Davidson – Bec 08.01.24

The Northern beaches Harley Davidson tour was organised by Bec for herself. In Sydney for a short holiday, Bec decided to do something she had always wanted to experience – a Harley Davidson ride. Our rider picked her up from Narrabeen on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. The 3 hour tour was only just long enough 😆.

Review

“….I was nervous about being on a bike for the first time, but there was absolutely no need, as Pat was such a safe rider and I wasn’t nervous or afraid at all during the whole trip…..”

Narrabeen

Firstly, they rode past Narrabeen Beach. It is one of Australia’s iconic surfing and swimming beaches. Over 3 km of sand stretches from Long Reef in the south to the Narrabeen Lagoon entrance in the north, with 4 surf lifesaving clubs along the beach.

Pittwater

After that, they rode through a small section of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park and headed along Mona Vale Road, Terry Hills. Pittwater is the name of the big bay between Barrenjoey Peninsula, where Palm Beach is situated and Kur-ing-ai Chase National Park.

Church Point

This led through Church Point. Aborigines had been here for 14,000 years or more and was discovered by the English in March 1788 by Sydney’s first Governor, Arthur Phillip. He was exploring its lower reaches in search or arable land. Church Point, located 32 kilometres north of the Sydney CBD, is a waterside suburb at the southern end of Pittwater in Sydney’s north. It’s a pretty area, away from the busyness of the beach suburbs but still can get very busy at times.

“Home and Away” – Palm Beach

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 for coffee, 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”. It is also the northernmost coastal suburb of metropolitan Sydney.

Dee Why, Curl Curl, Freshwater,

Can’t go any further north on the peninsula than Palm Beach. So, they turned around and headed south. Then they rode past Long Reef, Dee Why, Curl Curl and Freshwater. All such beautiful beaches. This leads past Queenscliff, which is really northern Manly. They rode past the famous and iconic Manly Beach. We prefer it over Bondi Beach.

North Head

Next, they stopped at North Head near Manly, for unending ocean views and a spectacular panorama of the harbour and Sydney skyline. We never tire of looking at this wonderful view. Even on a dull day, it is spectacular.

Forest Way

However, the 3 hours was almost up. So they could go home a different way, Pat rode through Forest Way. Nothing special about this place, a normal suburb with a big shopping centre. Still, it was good to show our passenger more of the northern suburbs of Sydney. In conclusion, the Northern beaches Harley Davidson tour was a huge success – fun and memorable. Feel the Freedom!
