Best Gelato In Sydney For Kids
"We reserved the last spot for the most dreamy ice cream experience ever, even if it’s not 100% gelato. Aqua S serves their signature soft ice cream with the fluffy pillows of slightly salty fairy floss. Making fairy floss from sea salt may sound a little extravagant, but if we tell you the idea came from Japan, you’d understand."

It’s a classic mix of sandstone, bushland and water vistas, taking in over 100km of coastline along the southern edge of Broken Bay, where it heads into the Hawkesbury River. There are two unconnected principal sections, Bobbin Head and the West Head area. The Barrenjoey headland at Palm Beach is also part of the park."
