On Thursday, James (another Pommie) at work asked if Mat and I would be interested in getting up early Saturday morning and going somewhere nice to watch the sun rise for Winter Solstice. I was previously not aware that he was a fellow Pagan so it was nice to discover. He explained that when he was back in England he always used to spend Summer Solstice at Avebury and wanted to at least do something to acknowledge the Sabbat even if there are no standing stones here in Australia.
We asked a few people in the office of suitable places and one suggestion was made by Hayley of West Head. This is within Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park and there was a bit of debate as to whether the gates would be shut or not that early in the morning so we discussed a few other places and left it at that.
When I got home I relayed the discussions to Mat and we decided we would go out, there and then, on a reconnoitre. Here is another map from Google Earth that I have annotated slightly to show where we went:
