Green Point Reserve

Although at the time I didn’t know the name of this place, I had discovered it while driving around looking for locations to do some photography. And yes, it’s a great place for taking pictures, try the sunset for pictures of the harbour panorama. Or, if you’re the more professional type, and have some clients or models, try this location for some beautifully backlit head shots and group photographs
After a while it was no longer a place I’d go to do photography, but to take girls I’d met, it’s the perfect view, quiet and intimate and relaxed. Take a bottle of wine, a blanket, and maybe some cheese if you’re getting hungry, it’s incredibly romantic sitting on the grass, and soaking up the views. If you’re getting to ‘hot’ there, cool off in the beach besides the park, it’s also very secluded enough for some skinny dipping.
It’s always open, and a great venue for families during the day, and couples during the night.

The Green Point Reserve is amongst Sydney’s most precious green spaces, primarily because it offers views of the entrance of the Harbor at Watson’s Bay. I’m proud to say that this reserve was the first opportunity I had to witness panoramic views of the city and it’s natural splendor. You can see the entire skyline from here. Moreover, it is the best place to photograph The Gap, which is the massive ocean cliff that drops straight into the Tasman Sea. Around the reserve you can find some eucalyptus forest and other native fauna (the only thing better would be if wild koalas were hanging from the trees!).
Ultimately, I think that it is best served as a place for picnics, as it is quiet and covered in lush grass. The only draw is that it is very hard to find some shade since most of the area open. Regardless, only requirement is that you bring your camera and walk down to the South Head area for spectacular photo ops. It’s open 24/​7, but I’m sure sunset is the best time to come.
