Helpfulness
Sydney and the outlying areas seem to be full of sailboats. With all the beautiful water I can't blame them. Young children and adults can be seen sailing in the harbour and beach areas. Our weather during both of our 2007 and 2010 trips were spectacular and the boats were put in full force enjoying the beautiful weather. Even during my 2005 trip in the middle of winter people here are able to sail.

cjg1 Says: In the Sydney Harbour National Park Gap Bluff there are no dogs allowed. I don't think anyone wants their pooch going over the edge and into the water below.
Luggage and bags: Watsons Bay is usually a day trip for us so I just bring a back pack or shoulder bag.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Be prepared to walk some uneven and steep areas; wear the correct footwear for your comfort. Bring an umbrella just in case in rains; we always have one handy. If it's hot outside wear loose fitting clothes that are light in fabric.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: We always carry extra sunblock, Band-Aids, Tylenol and a small first aid kit when we travel.
Photo Equipment: Digital camera, video camera
Miscellaneous: Bring water, you will get thirsty.
