PLAY IN BROOKLYN Sitting on Hornsby Shire’s northern border – the picturesque Hawkesbury River – Brooklyn is an ideal place to visit. Dangar Island A short ferry ride from Brooklyn, Dangar Island’s European history stretches all the way back to 1788 when Governor Phillip camped here. Going back much further, it was a gathering place for members of the Guringai language group and evidence still remains of their engravings, middens and rock shelters. A highlight is Bradleys Beach, ideal for a picnic. McKell Park Located at the end of Dangar Road, this scenic park offers great views of the Hawkesbury. It features barbecues, picnic areas, toilets and an enclosed swimming area. The children’s playground has recently had a make-over, with new pirate-themed play equipment. Saltmarsh Boardwalk This track passes through mangroves, saltmarsh, woodlands and forest areas with past evidence of Aboriginal occupation. The boardwalk that has been erected to protect the vegetation makes for easy walking. Barbecues, picnic areas and a playground are also on offer. Bar Island Rich in Aboriginal and European history, this uninhabited island is well worth a visit. Among the historic sites are a cottage, church and cemetery, as well as Aboriginal middens. Enjoy the native flora and fauna, making sure to keep an eye out for the threatened glossy black cockatoo and whistling kites. Kangaroo Point One of Hornsby Shire’s most beautiful recreation spots, with superb panoramic views of the Hawkesbury River and the rail bridge that crosses it. Keep an eye out for major improvements that are planned there, including a new restaurant and kiosk. Follow: twitter.com/hornsbycouncil ı Like: facebook.com/hornsbycouncil ı Call: 9847 6666 35.
