La Perouse, Bare Island

Looking across Conwong Bay to Bare Island on Botany Bay, which is linked by a bridge to the eastern suburb of La Perouse. This view is from the New South Wales Golf Club.

  1. La Perouse, c'est un navigateur...

    "C'est un roc !… C'est un pic !… C'est un cap !… Que dis-je, c'est un cap ?… C'est une péninsule !"

    C'est la Perouse, quoi, à bord de l'Astrolabe et de la Boussole, parti pour émerveiller le roi Louis, il vogue toujours vers ton pays, puisqu'il n'est jamais revenu chez nous...

  2. Tsuki, yes the suburb La Perouse is named after the French explorer Jean-François de Galaup, comte de Lapérouse. The peninsula at the end of the suburb is linked to the island.

  7. That's a terrific view. I can see why so many vehicles are parked out there on the point. I'd love to head across the footbridge to the little island...
