I am pleased to announce that whale watching at Cape Solander in Kamay Botany Bay National Park will be an even better experience, with a new $2 million whale watching platform being installed by the NSW Government.
The new platform will improve accessibility and improve visitor safety for the thousands of eager whale watchers visiting the site each year.
The 240sqm platform will accommodate up to 60 spectators at a time. Risk to visitors will be reduced with new seating that will provide a better viewing experience than the open rock platform. The design includes several small viewing areas above the rock platform that will offer greater choice for seating. Barriers and warning signs to limit access to the rock platform and cliff edges from the viewing areas will also be installed to reduce risk to visitors.
The platform is not only a great asset for our local community but is an important tourism site, attracting visitors to Kurnell and supporting our local economy.
Construction works are due to commence in February 2021, with the project due to be completed in time for next year’s whale watching season.
This project is being funded through the NSW Government’s Improving Access to National Parks Program.

Yesterday I joined 15 students from five Sydney schools at Parramatta, where they set off to retrace the steps of Sir James Martin, walking from Parramatta Square to Sydney’s Martin Place. In the 1830s Martin used to walk from his home in Parramatta to Sydney to go to high school.
A penniless Irish boy, Martin later became Attorney General, Premier and Chief Justice. He was a key architect of Australia’s first public education system.
The Lysicrates Foundation partnered with the NSW Department of Education to host the walk. ... See MoreSee Less

And he was the 4th Member for Monaro (1864-1865)! ❤️
Extremely encouraging to see our wonderful local history being embraced and taught.
Great effort from the students. 🚶♀️👏👏
The Labor MP of Parramatta is invisible. We need more voice at the parliament to build a future here

Mark Spearman is a racist worm who cares nothing about profits and ego. long Live Palestine. From a Christian who cannot stand injustice. Israel is a terrorist regime along with Genocide Joe. So you take your fascists ideology Mr Speakman and shove it. Palestinians have been subjected to inhumane conditions treatment and discrimination extermination and apeartheiurd for 75 years. Go back to bed Sir.
Yet not a single member of the party cares that one woman dies a week from DV.
Sadly you have shown that you are not a leader and I will not be voting for NSW liberal anytime soon. First thing a leader would do is get rid of GREEN KEAN!!
