The mission
To visit every spot on Sydney Harbour with “point” in its name.
Why? We were bored. Feeling the pressures of modern living, family life. Wanting to reconnect as a family. Unable to make a decision on which DVD to hire or which direction to head on our Sunday drives. Said genius wife, “let’s go to Manns Point.” At that point, inspired to reach the next point. Butcher’s Point. (Actually we went to Lloyd Rees park, thinking it was a point, but it’s not, it’s a park. So no photos, sorry.) And voila, “point to point” was born. But “a ha,” said genius husband, let’s call it “Point 2 Point,” it’s more visual.
Have we put you off? We’re actually laughing as we write this. It was just a spontaneous decision, to go places we didn’t normally go, to do something different. To check out our city, we like it. And to share it with our daughter.
We think there’s somewhere in the vicinity of 68 80 points. No doubt we’re wrong. We hope to have it done come the pointy end of summer.
Wish us luck.
