6. McKell Park

Reviewed By kpiddy - Brisbane, Australia
After a delicious lunchtime feed of fish and chips at Brooklyn recently, we walked passed the Hawkesbury River Train Station down to McKell Park. This park is nicely positioned by the river and the Brooklyn Baths (an enclosure in the river for public swimming). We followed the path by the river to Flat Rock Point and around to Parsley Bay on the other side of the hilly point, this is an easy short picturesque walk. There are picnic shelter sheds, a children playground and a collection of historical photographs to peruse in the park. Car parking in the area can be difficult on weekends as Brooklyn is a popular location.
7. Dangar Island

Reviewed By marisat579 - Sydney, Australia
Lovely step away from busy everyday traffic onto the island's peace and quiet. No cars, only bird sounds! Leafy and tropical easy walk along the main road with side tracks to the beach spying waterfront humble abodes. Could see myself devouring books on my back deck or just lapping up lots of rest. Dine at the local club or cafe on the marina. Browse through the extensive book library whilst you wait for the return of the cute ferry with an informative and friendly ferry master. A well kept secret.
