Pittwater Online News

John is still a regular visitor to Pittwater and loves cruising the waters adjacent to the estuary. This week, for sheer enjoyment a selection of photos taken during Autumn aboard Cruising Yacht Tondelao in magnificent Cowan Water part of the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park.

In 2014 Pittwater Online ran two history pages to celebrate Pittwater’s Parallel Estuary: The Cowan ‘Creek’ and Pittwater's Lone Rangers - 120 Years Of Ku-Ring-Gai Chase And The Men Of Flowers Inspired By Eccleston Du Faur, which show that although some things change, others remain the same.

Pittwater residents have shared images in the past taken from the many walking tracks that overlook these vistas - this is how the Cowan Bay reaches look from the waterline.

Thank you John, wonderful!
