Wareemba, Canada Bay

This view is from the inner west suburb of Wareemba, across Canada Bay to the suburb of Canada Bay. The name Wareemba is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning "place where sweet water meets salt water".

  2. Lovely shot Jim and really enjoyed the translation from the Aboriginal word. Hope all is well with you, it's not easy after three months recovering but hopefully it won't take you long to get back into the swing of things. Pace yourself!

  3. Lily Riani, I'm not entirely sure but I think they probably described fresh water as sweet water. This bay is part of a river that leads into Sydney Harbour.

  7. I like this part of the city ... lots of people like to jog along the shoreline here ... and I am always stuck in the car.
