Balmoral Beach is just as beautiful as I remember!
Today was a short driving day, we only had to get from the south of the Central Coast to the inner city suburb of Sydney where we'll be staying the next five nights.
But we needed to leave the Coast by 10:15 and couldn't check in to our hotel until 13:00, and the driving time is only about an hour and a half. So, we had some time to use on something, on route, that was pretty.
The best I could come up with was "the closest beach to the main road heading south". Which, as it turns out, is Balmoral!
It did require some weaving through traffic on skinny, skinny roads. But Brad managed like a champ.
And while I was struggling emotionally all morning, I reminded myself to become as present as possible to all the wonderful people and trees and babies and birds around me.
It was a sunny visit and while a bit too cold for me to want to swim, I'm happy we did the little detour as it was well worth the effort.
If you're ever in Sydney with enough time to explore a handful of places, and you like calm, protected beaches, give Balmoral, on the north side of Sydney Harbour, a go 👌
(Photo by me, of one of those spectacular trees! This one is a fig tree and it's unlike any that I've ever seen before 😊)

STOPSometimes, it is the simplest moments that teach us the most valuable lessons. The detour to Balmoral, such a spontaneous act, reflects the beauty of being flexible and open to what life has to offer.
It is true that in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we forget the importance of being present. Your experience reminds me that every little moment, every connection with nature and the people around us, is an opportunity to find peace and joy, even in the midst of inner struggle.
The majesty of those trees and the tranquillity of the beach are a testament to the fact that, despite the cold, there is always warmth to be found in company and in the beauty of the surroundings. I appreciate you sharing this experience; it is a reminder that life is found in the details and that we must seek out those havens of calm along our path.
Thank you for inviting us to explore the magic of Balmoral. I will definitely keep it in mind.
