The areas with BBQs are:
Blaxland Riverside Park Blaxland Riverside Park which also appears to have plenty of parking, toilets and interesting stuff associated with the old Newington Amory & wharf.
Bicentennial Park Bicentennial Park which is the most popular spot.
Wentworth Common Wentworth Common
I think it is pretty much between those 3. Last time I went to the Bicentennial Park bit I found parking very difficult. I guess if there is anything on at Homebush at the time will have a huge bearing on that.

I'm thinking the Blaxland Riverside Park although Ilike the idea of doing some birding in the wetlands at Bicentennial Park. Lets see what other members would prefer - we have a few days to make a decision.
Blaxland Riverside Park looks interesting. I think the area is quite newly done up. Then for sunset at the wreck in Homebush Bay and I think there may be some lit up things at night if I am hanging around that long.
I'm happy to go where you guys suggest as i have not been there before
So what are the details? Start time etc? Can u take dogs? I was thinking of bringing the naughty pugs
Narelle/Peter - I'm flexible too with your suggestions. Reading the website I think the Blaxland river park is still undergoing renos so won't look the photo yet! It might still be OK along by the river though. Realistically I won't be there until 3ish I would say but who knows!

Ok - I think I have this sorted - it's such a large park.
How about we meet at the Wentworth Common - this is the closest park to the shipwreck viewing platform, bird hides and mangrove walks. As we are now meeting much later in the day we are not going to have a lot of time to get from Blaxland Park over to the shipwreck - keeping in mind that the park closes at sunset? see this map:

There are 4 Parking areas near the Common on Marjorie Jackson Parkway and hopefully parking will be ok. These parking stations appear to be a relatively short distance from the common if you are wanting to return chairs etc. to the car.
LETS MEET FROM 3PM ONWARDS ON THE WENTWORTH COMMON AT THE CLOSEST END TO THE SHIPWRECK LOOKOUT. BYO OWN FOOD, DRINKS CHAIRS/BLANKET,CAMERA GEAR.

Sounds a perfect place to meet. I haven't been to that park of the park before which is good. See you all tomorrow. Thanks Narelle for getting us sorted!
