Looking south down the length
of the Brisbane Water, from Presidents Hill in Gosford. The entrance to the
estuary cannot be seen from this angle.
Brisbane Water is a saltwater
estuary, open to the sea at its south end, near Ettalong. The shores of the estuary
are dotted with little bays and points, flat places and lovely tree-covered
ridges with houses at their feet.
The climate here is in the
temperate zone and that means warm to hot summers and mild winters. Our beaches
are popular year round, though in winter only with surfers, line-fishers and
dog walkers. Our springs and summers are full of life, with locals and visitors
making the most of the sun, the surf, the ferries, private boats and hired
boats, the parks and paths, outdoor sports, children’s activities, exhibitions,
live music and too much more to list here today. It’s a good place to live.
Although the suburbs spread all
the way around the estuary, the hills and ridges just back from the water are
covered in trees and there are plenty of spots along the main roads where
you’re driving past trees and little else. It’s lovely to drive along those
roads when you’re going about your daily business. Here we don’t have to leave
town to get that feel of being in the country. I love it.
