CARSS PARK: PLAYGROUND, BEACH, SWIMMING, BUSH WALKS + GREAT CAFE!
Carss Bush Park is a magnificent place to spend a day with the family. Carss Park scores the family friendly trifecta having a wonderful playground; a terrific cafe/restaurant, the Carss Park Cafe and Grill, right beside the playground, with delightful views over the water; a beach and enclosed swimming area on the Georges River; and plenty of space to picnic and play, plus some small bush walks good for all ages of the family.
Carss Park is a large park with a big playground, a separate BBQ area, lots of picnic tables and shelters and a sheltered swimming beach on a bay with shark nets. There is also a bike path nearby, although you are not allowed to ride bikes in playing/swimming/picnic area of Carss Park. There are lots of grass areas to spread out picnic rugs and have a sit down.
The playground area is surrounded by trees so various parts of the playground are in shade at various times depending on the day and season.
The playground has three different sets of equipment plus two "baby" swings, two "bigger kid" swings and a couple of rocking springs sitting on animals. One of the playground areas is small with easy steps and a small slide for littles. Another area has an easy-to-climb ramp with side-by-side small slides plus a bigger enclosed slide at one end and a few tunnels and bridges to walk across. The third set has two high, bumpy slides, a climbing rope and a long pole to slide down catering to older kids. In the middle of the three sets of equipment is a kind of raised boardwalk that the kids can run up and down and parents can sit on to watch kids from all areas (although it's not shaded so not so pleasant to sit on in summer - great in winter).
The playground area is not fenced and there is a beach within the park, but it is about 75-100m away from the play equipment.
The beach is on the George's River with no waves, and great for littles to play in the water. Sand can be a bit covered in seaweed and sticks/dirt etc if there's been rough weather recently etc.
There are about a dozen gas BBQs in a BBQ area that is about 50-75m from the playground area.
There are picnic tables and about 5-6 larger picnic shelters dotted across the park.
Within the park is also the historic Carss Park Cottage, built by William Carss in the 1860's. You can stroll around the outside of it at any time or visit the museum inside it on Sunday and Public Holiday afternoons 1-5pm.
On the outskirts of the park is a bike track that is about 400m long. From it, you can also join the 500m bike circuit of Todd Park which is adjacent to Carss Park.
Carss Park is a very popular park at weekends and especially so in summer.

Rock climbing @ Bald Face Point
A bushland reserve, named when sandstone was quarried from the point at the end of Stuart Street for the construction of Tom Ugly's Bridge, leaving a bare cliff face. Bald Face Point is bounded on three sides by waterways and bays off the Georges River which flows into Botany Bay. The park feature a lookout on the high ground of the point. A path leads down the hillside to the quarry that gave the point its name, then to a small sandy beach with views to Tom Uglys Bridge. Aboriginal rock art and axe grinding grooves have been recorded here, but erosion of the soft sandstone of this rock point has rendered them difficult to see, not to mention more recent engravings by all and sundry on the same rock faces.
Close to the water's edge is a rock overhang where there are visible signs of its occupation by the local Aborigines of pre-colonial times. There is a shell midden nearby, and the cave itself is blackened by hundreds of years of fires used to cook the fish and oysters on which they would feed.

Accor Stadium, known non-commercially as Stadium Australia, is an 82,500-capacity stadium located at Sydney Olympic Park in the west of Sydney, Australia. Built to be the centrepiece of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, it now serves primarily as a rectangular sports and entertainment venue. No other outdoor stadium used for the Olympics had been bigger than Stadium Australia at the time of the games, with its 110,000 seating capacity.
Specially designed for the unique Australian environment, the stadium shades and protects the majority of spectators. Suspended from a huge arch structure and three hectares in area, the roof is constructed from translucent polycarbonate to minimise the shadows and patches of direct sunlight on the playing area, creating ideal conditions for TV presentations and spectators.
Stadium Australia's design includes state-of-the-art environmental features that make it a showcase of ecological responsibility. Its energy management strategy reduces the use of conventional electric power through measures such as natural lighting, gas-fired co-generation engines, and energy-efficient lighting. All materials were selected for their contribution to minimising pollution, conserving resources, and durability. Significant waste management and water-saving measures are also in place.
Stadium Australia is the home ground of NRL clubs Canterbury Bulldogs and South Sydney Rabbitohs. It has hosted many major sporting events since it opened in 1999 including major football matches featuring the Socceroos, Brazil, Manchester United and Barcelona. Major Rugby Union matches have been staged featuring the Wallabies, British & Irish Lions and New Zealand in the Bledisloe Cup. The NRL Grand Final is played at the stadium every year, the first of which drew a record rugby league crowd of 110,000. The State of Origin between NSW and QLD is also played at the venue and other events have included an American NFL pre-season game between the San Diego Chargers and the Denver Broncos as well as major concerts. It previously hosted Australian football and cricket, with the Sydney Swans playing blockbuster matches there and the Sydney Thunder playing their BBL home games prior to moving to the Sydney Showground.
The stadium had major redevelopment work done throughout 2001 and 2002 to reduce its size and convert the playing field into an oval shape to enable Australian Football to be played. Stage two of the project was completed in March 2002 and included the removal of the two stands at either end, the remodelling of the lower level of seating into an oval shape. Stage three included the extension of the roof at either end which used to be occupied by the two large stands - this was completed in 2003.
Stadium Australia was set to receive a major $810 redevelopment to convert the Olympic stadium into a world-class 70,000-capacity rectangular stadium, commencing in mid-2020 - however, the NSW Government then abandoned the project. In 2022, a new super-sized LED video screen known as 'the great southern screen' was installed - this included the removal of some seating reducing the capacity from 83,500 to around 82,500.
The venue opened as Stadium Australia in 1999, before it became Telstra Stadium in 2002 following its first naming-rights agreement. The ANZ Bank purchased the rights in an initial seven-year deal which was later extended, with the venue known as ANZ Stadium from January 1, 2008. It reverted back to its non-commercial name of Stadium Australia in December 2020 following the end of that partnership. Then as of 26 November 2021, the venue became Accor Stadium following a new seven-year deal with the global hotel chain.

The Georges River, formerly known as Tucoerah River, is an intermediate tide dominated drowned valley estuary, located to the south and west of Sydney. The Georges River begins its journey approximately 60km south-west of Sydney in the town of Appin. From here the river flows north towards Liverpool, through the Chipping Norton Lakes Scheme, then east until it reaches Botany Bay. The catchment area of the remarkable Georges River covers an area of approximately 960km2 and, with over 1 million people living within it, is one of the most highly urbanised catchments in Australia.
The river has a number of important tributaries including Bunburry Curran Creek in Glenfield; Cabramatta Creek in Cabramatta; Prospect Creek in Georges Hall; Williams Creek in Holsworthy; Salt Pan Creek in Padstow; Mill Creek in Menai; and the Woronora River in Illawong.
The Georges River was an important focal point for Aboriginal life and culture in the southern Sydney region, offering both food, transport and dreamtime links. Several major language groups existed along the river: Eora to the east, Dharug to the west, north and north-east, Dharawal to the south and Gandangarra in the far south-west.
The river was first explored by Bass and Flinders in 1795 on their first voyage on the Tom Thumb after their arrival in New South Wales. The exploration led to the establishment of Bankstown. The early 1800's saw European settlers migrating to the areas along the Georges River and the river became increasingly important as a transport route. Much of the catchment was cleared for farmlands and housing, however the banks stayed relatively untamed due to their rugged slopes. Development within the catchment has only flourished since WWII. The consequences of urbanisation in the catchment are significant, with stormwater pollution, increased runoff and vegetation loss all of great concern.
Liverpool weir, constructed in 1836 by convict labour, forms the tidal limit for the river. It was built to supply water to the town of Liverpool and to serve as a causeway across the Georges River.
The Georges River National Park was established in 1992. It is located in the middle reaches of the River within the Bankstown and Sutherland Council areas and covers approximately 5.14km2. Prior to becoming a National Park, it was a state recreation area under the management of a trust.
The Georges River is a popular area for recreational fishing. Species present in the river include bass, bream, whiting, yellowtail, jewfish and flathead. The river is also host to a number of commercial oyster farms. The upper ends of the Georges River are abundant with Bass during the summer months and during the winter months, these bass migrate down to the lower ends of the river towards the salt water to breed.

Brighton-Le-Sands Guide: Sydney’s Mediterranean!
With calm, clear water, soft white sand and a choice of international restaurants, Brighton-Le-Sands down in the south of Sydney is a fantastic spot for a day out or even a Sydney staycation!
Situated along Sydney’s longest beach (Lady Robinsons) on the shores of Botany Bay, Brighton has a Mediterranean feel, as well as a walk/cycle track running all the way up to Kyeemagh and down to Ramsgate if you’re feeling active.
Being close to Sydney Airport, it’s a great area to stay in if you need to catch a plane. And with its Greek and Italian restaurants, you’ll already feel like you’re on holiday! While Botany Bay does have some aircraft noise and industrial Port Botany in the distance, it still has a beautiful beach and a great atmosphere.
So if you’re looking for a change from the Eastern Suburbs, here’s my guide to visiting Brighton-Le-Sands.
Where is Brighton-Le-Sands?
Brighton-Le-Sands is about 13km southwest of Sydney CBD, on the long stretch of Botany Bay beaches to the west of Sydney Airport. It’s a great spot to take visitors to if they’ve got a few hours to kill before catching a plane.
