So you ride all the way down the Cooks River cycle path. Past Cup and Saucer Creek Wetlands. Past Boat Harbour. Past Gough Whitlam Park and Wetlands. Past Landing Lights Wetlands. And here you are. The Mouth of The Cooks River at Botany Bay. To the north there's Sydney Airport and Port Botany with its bulk petroleum and container terminals. To the south there's the long six kilometre stretch of Lady Robinsons Beach and residential suburbs all the way to The Georges River. You can ride along a cycle path all that way, and stop to swim at any of the seven tidal baths with their shark nets, if you want to. Just around the corner from the mouth is Kyeemagh Baths where I sometimes stop for a dip. You can usually spot a few Bar-Tailed Godwits on the beach here in the season. Otherwise it's gulls and terns, gulls and terns.

No Bar-tailed Godwits today
