Kamira Road, Lilli Pilli, NSW 2229

Very quiet streets at the end of a peninsular: ie no through traffic and little passing traffic. Kamira Road overlooks the beautiful turquoise waters of the Port Hacking - the only unpolluted waterway in Sydney.

If you are very fortunate, you look straight at the Royal National Park, with no houses in sight at all.

In the early morning or late afternoon light, looking across the water, you could imagine yourself on the edge of the Zambezi River in Africa. But you are only 30 kms from the heart of Sydney.

With no through road traffic, the only noise is from boats on the water and not too many people know about the light boating traffic - yet.

There are sand spits in the river, where at low tide revellers can picnic and run their dogs.

Lilli Pilli carries most of the trees for the whole of Caringbah. When the local Council tells you that Caringbah has "X" percentage tree cover, most of the trees are at Lilli Pilli. Lilli Pilli has the trees for all of the treeless blocks of units in Caringbah, that gives the suburb of Caringbah the "X" percentage.

The downside of Lilli Pilli - it is a summer place. Between late April and early October, you put the covers over the lounge and furniture and go to your winter hideaway. Living in Lilli Pilli in winter can be a bit like living in Cairns or Broome between October and April.
