Sunrise @ Sydney's Eastern Suburbs - 21 Jun (saturday) ?

[kevin301]

Hey Folks,

Am travelling in to Sydney for about 8 days in mid-June, and will be staying with a friend in Maroubra. Planning to explore the Eastern Suburbs for sunrise seascape opportunities. If anyone else is keen perhaps we could try to meet up on Saturday 21 June.
Would love to pick your brain for some location ideas! ;)

regards,
Kevin

Hey Kevin.

It would be nice to meet up, but I don't want to promise anything.

I don't live at/near the coast, so I can't suggest a good place to go.

Maybe down south a bit near the golf course - as seen in one of the Mission impossible - may be a good place.

Yes I believe you're referring to Bare Island, the site of MI:2 filming. Yes I really love the place! :)

Thanks for the links! :)

Yes Mahon Pool is definitely top of my list

[Mr Felix]

Kevin,

Keep me in the loop of what you want to do.

My calendar is quite empty and I don't mind doing things.

Talk later.

Kevin, i should be ok for 21 june, i can suggest south maroubra beach, north maroubra beach, Mahon Pool (top of northern end of beach) Ivo Wroe pool, little bay, heaps more.

[Grant S]

Little Bay is worth a visit and not too far from Maroubra. Lurline Bay to the north is worth a look if you can get down near the cliffs.

I shall follow your lead! :)
Pls suggest a suitable location and I shall be there on June 21 for sunrise :) Then I shall plan my other shooting locations accordingly.
Flying off in a couple of days! Can't wait!

I used to live in a homestay at Little Bay, and have fond memories of the place! :) Certainly I shall return there to visit, though maybe due to my limited time in Sydney, I may only be able to visit these places during the day and not at sunrise.

Would love to catch up whilst you're here and would like to try to meet up on Saturday 21st June if that is ok. Always keen to show people around our fair city.

Ok so looking in the area, the baths are "between" Major st and Tower st, if you kept walking. Right?

I sincerely apologize but it looks like I will not be able to make it for sunrise tomorrow :(
A personal matter came up. Am so sorry about that...

[Mr Felix]

I am still not 100% sure where this arch is. I can see the north end of the beach and dolphin st but beyond that I am stuck.
