About this episode

The episode explores the scenic beauty and historical significance of the Lambert Penninsula and Barrenjoey in Sydney.

As you travel down from Brooklyn to the rivers mouth at Cowan Water you will see ahead a high ridge of land. This is the Lambert Penninsula. Behind it to the east is a tied island, Barrenjoey. Both are N.ational Parks and provide stunning views of land and water. They are yet another example of Sydney’s gems. The lower Hawkesbury has nearly all pristine land and bush on either side. Again , a rare gem. This is partly due to topography and isolation, but , in the case of the Lambert , a lot of luck. We also give a brief description of the life of Eardly Henderson McGaw and his wife on the Lambert.
