LANE COVE NATIONAL PARK
Ryde), surrounded by North Shore suburbia, is a great place to stretch out on some mid-sized bushwalks. It's
home to dozens of critters, including some endangered owls and toads. If you visit in spring, the water dragons
will be getting horny and the native orchids and lilies will be flowering. There's a boat shed on Lane Cove
River that rents out row boats and kayaks, but swimming isn't a good idea. You can also cycle and camp, and
some sections are wheelchair accessible
THE CORSO
( Manly)
The quickest route from the Manly ferry terminal to Manly's ocean beach is
along The Corso, a part-pedestrian mall lined with surf shops, pubs and sushi bars. Kids
splash around in the fountains and spaced-out surfies shuffle back to the ferry after a hard
day carving up the swell.
STREET
If you need some surfboard wax, you're in the right place, but don't expect to see much
Sydney bling here - the mood is suburban and relaxed.
