Geret Koper

Ringan geret koper, Berat kasih porter

Kalo dipikir-pikir dalam kurun waktu kurang dari 2 bulan, rasanya saya sudah lebih dari 5 kali berkunjung ke daerah ini (cuma sedikit mengingatkan, ternyata tulisan ini sudah mengendap di draft blog kurang lebih 3 tahun, hihihihihi). Semuanya murni karena urusan pekerjaan di sini tapi meskipun harus menempuh perjalanan selama kurang lebih 45 menit dari Sydney CBD dan kadang harus berurusan dengan teriknya matahari, saya selalu excited setiap kali berkunjung ke daerah ini. Pertama kali saya ke daerah Narrabeen justru bukan ke pantai, melainkan ke danaunya yang merupakan danau pertama di Sydney yang saya pernah kunjungi.

Where to Start

Ngabuburit heula • Ngabuburit versi aku kali ini jalan-jalan ke arah Mona Vale naik bis tingkat warna kuning super ngejreng dan turun di Narrabeen lake ini. Udaranya adem dan tadi matahari sempat agak terik. Karena lagi jadi pemalas dan ga mau jalan kaki jauh, jadi cuma duduk-duduk di samping lake sambil ngeliatin bebek wara-wiri, bebeknya cuma buat dilihat aja yah, jangan digoreng apa lagi dibumbu balado. JANGANNNNNN!! KAN LAGI PUASA *tunggu pas buka aja* #ehgimana • Please ignore the caption, thank you #sydneysider #Sydney #lake #Narrabeen #Narrabeenlake #picturesque #landscape #travel #travelblogger #traveller #randomtrip #autumn #NSW #NorthernBeaches #ngabuburit #seeaustralia #australia #travelaustralia

Garis pantai di Pantai Narrabeen terbilang cukup panjang dan menyambung ke Pantai Collaroy. Lokasi pengunjung yang paling ramai ke pantai ini adalah di sekitar jalan .... karena selain disediakan tenpat parkiran khusus, banyak juga cafe & restoran serta tempat penyewaan alat-alat renang dan selancar. Saya sendiri yang noatbenenya kurang suka berada di pantai yang ramai lebih memilih untuk masuk ke areal pantai ini melalui Wellington Street atau Ablemarle Street, selain ada bukit hijau di daerah ini juga ada beberapa tempat duduk santai yang sebenarnya milik rumah pribadi di sekitar situ yang langsung menghadap ke pantai, duhh enaknya. 

Di daerah Wellington street juga tidak terlalu jauh dari wisata air lain di daerah Narrabeen yaitu Danaunya. Di danau ini, wisata airnya juga tidak kalah menarik dari pantainya. Di sini pengunjung bisa bermain kayak/canoe hingga menyewa kapal untuk berkeliling danau. Serunya lagi, di sekitaran danau bisa kita jumpai banyak angsa dan burung-burung unik lain yang ikutan menikmati danau ini.





Where to Stay

Saya sendiri sih biasanya selalu day trip tiap kali berkunjung ke daerah ini, namun karena ada rencana untuk sekalian mengunjungi Palm beach yang jaraknya kurang lebih 30menit berkendara ke utara Narrabeen akhirnya memutuskan untuk menginap dulu di Narrabeen. Selain serviced villa dan hotel, di daerah ini juga banyak unit dan rumah yang disewakan melalui aplikasi penyewaan penginapan airbnb.com . Buat saya sendiri ini merupakan kali pertamanya mencoba menginap di salah satu properti yang disewakan melalui website airBnB. Karena selain dapat memilih tempat yang lebih strategis dan tidak terlalu ramai dari pusat wisatanya Narrabeen, tempat-tempat yang disewakan melalui situs ini biasanya dibuat atau didesain khusus secara unik oleh pemiliknya supaya orang-orang yang menginap memiliki pengalaman seru dari menginap di hotel.

Saat ini yang lebih serunya lagi ada bis tingkat baru berwarna kuning dengan kode B1 yang bisa mengantarkan kamu langsung ke daerah ini dari Wynyard Station bus stop. Biasanya kalo udah jenuh lihat gedung di CBD, Narrabeen selalu jadi tempat tujuan tamasya paling seru buat saya.

Oh iya, tidak jauh dari tempat pemberhentian  bus di Narrabeen ada sebuah cafe unik yang bernama "The Tramshed Cafe Narrabeen" di mana kamu bisa menyantap makan siang atau minum kopi sambil duduk di dalam sebuah gerbong Tram tua. Dulunya, tempat ini merupakan depo tram di Sydney, iya Sydney pernah terkenal sebagai kota dengan jalur line terpanjang sayangnya saat ini semua jalur tram tersebut sudah tidak aktif.

Jadi saat semua #lockdown dan #stayathome ini selesai kalian mau ke mana?

During my one year stay in Sydney, i'm getting used to visit beach whereas previously I don't really like to go to the beach. I don't know why but I think beaches weren't my kind of 'safe' place, but that all changed since I lived here. Me and some of my friends got our day off on Easter weekend and we decided to explore Sydney and our destination was Palm Beach. So here we go! apply your sun block and go to the beach! 

Palm beach is located 41 kilometers north of Sydney CBD and can be easily reach using L90 bus from Wynyard station. It took me around one and half hour travel time from city by bus. I arrived on Palm Beach around 4pm in the afternoon, well maybe it was too late to explore the area, but the weather was just right. Moreover sunset time on this autumn in Sydney is aroun 7.15 pm so I have plenty of time to climb up the hill.

What's on Palm Beach?

This area actually part of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park which is my second national park I've been visited in Sydney after Kamay Botany Bay National Park (I haven't write any story about yet, will do soon). Besides its sunken shaped beaches, there is a hill called Barrenjoey Head on the north of Palm beach where Barrenjoey Lighthouse located.

Be ready for 1,2km walk and not-so-little hike

The first Barrenjoey light house built in 1881 and located just around 10 meters distance from current light house. The first light house marked with a plate on it and becomeGledhill Lookout. This light house is located 91 meters above sea level and has a picturesque view. If you facing south you can see palm beach with sunken shaped meanwhile if you facing north you can see Broken Bay, Lion Island, Putty Beach and many more.

There is guided tour for visitors who want to visit inside of the lighthouse every Sunday. It will cost you $5 for adults and $2 for children. 

There is an interesting thing on this area is you can do during May - November, If you lucky enough you can witness whale playing around on the sea and don't forget to prepare your binocular if you planning to watch it.  

you can access inside the light house by guided tour

How to reach Barrenjoey lighthouse?

There are two tracks to reach Barrenjoey lighthouse area, the first one is 1,2km path from beach to the top and it will take you around 25 - 35 minutes walk (well depends on your speed and strength) there are some track which have 20 to 45 degree angle. The second track is called smugglers track, it shorter than the first one but it will give you a quite challenging track with some "hike" but it closed for renovation now. Even the first track is consider as hike for me LOL. 

I almost gave up to reach the top, but thanked God there was a family who encourage me to walk with them, their beautiful children hypnotized me with their laugh and cheer. In (not so) a blink of an eye finally I reached the top, put down my backpack and sat down on the grass. (I can't believe I still alive without having asthma attack)

I rested for around 45 minutes while waiting for my other friends come to Palm beach and we traveled back to the city together.

 those happy and beautiful children

Here are my tips if you want to go to Barrenjoey Lighthouse, make sure you don't bring heavy things with you just like I did because it will just slower your walk, bring enough water because there is no drinking water available and empty your bladder first as there is no toilet up there.
