A blog by Kate Gibbs
A Saturday morning at Palm Beach, where we dropped in to the decked and red-and-white stripe decked out The Boat House. Hands down, best fish and chips I’ve had in Sydney, all beer battered and crispy flathead. Sunny wintery Sydney on the Hawkesbury at this little cottage setting was refreshing and so happy making. Two little girls ordered two enormous strawberry milkshakes. After lunch, wandered down to Whale Beach, where the sand is extra grainy and the surf was up!

I was visiting a good friend in Sydney a few months back- she took me to the boat house for lunch. You must all try the peri peri chicken burger…I would cross seas and states for that little beauty any day! What a whimsical setting too. I LOVE IT!
