Cue vintage Duran Duran please.
"In touch with the ground,
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf"
We won't be able to afford waterfront property where you can park a boat (if we had one, we'd have buy a place to park it!) for another x years, so we are settling for glimpses of water views instead.
WHY is the Lower North Shore our suburb of choice?

W-ELLL.... it has great private and public schools, it's near beaches, it's leafy and quiet.
In the afternoon, we spend some time on Balmoral Beach.
I love cool sand between my toes. I could get used to living here. My little girl loves the beach.
Even later on in the afternoon, we end up in the Inner West suburb of Haberfield, the Italian suburb that still considers itself authentic, after Leichardt became all commercialised as THE Little Italy of Sydney. We have coffee and sweets at famous Pasticceria Sulfaro on Ramsay Street. It's a family business that has been there for more than 50 years.
I'm no foodie like Helen of GrabYourFork, BUT I had to take a picture because I thought the china was so kitsch and the Southern Italian sweets were too pretty for words. The food was heavenly. Our baby was content to sit on my lap gurgling and playing. Yes. Carry a bag full of little toys that keep little people busy.
At the end of the day we did find a few bargains- we registered our interest in those properties, will view them again, get the finances in order etc. Very excited and anxiously keeping tabs on domain.com.au. In the meantime, we're also buying furniture for the new home, fun weekends in Surry Hills looking and browsing.
