Camp Cove, in Sydney's Watsons Bay, is a sheltered harbour beach, frequently photographed for its scenic sunset vistas and sweeping harbour panoramas. The location also serves as the starting point for the South Head Heritage Trail toward Hornby Lighthouse.
It has a history spanning thousands of years of Indigenous custodianship and key moments in European maritime and military heritage.
Indigenous History:
• Traditional Owners: The area was traditionally used by the Cadigal and Birrabirragal people, who knew parts of Watsons Bay as Kutti.
• Resources: The cove provided a crucial freshwater spring (known as the Duck Pond), sheltered waters for canoeing, an abundant supply of fish and shellfish, and coastal campsites.
• Cultural Sites: The headlands feature historic rock engravings, shell middens, and traditional burial sites. Indigenous families continued to camp in the area through the 1840s and up until the 1880s before displacement.
European Settlement and First Landfall:
• Captain Phillip’s Landfall: On January 21, 1788, Captain Arthur Phillip landed here during early explorations of Port Jackson after finding Botany Bay unsuitable for a penal colony.
• Early Contact: The First Fleet officers recorded friendly early meetings with local Indigenous fishing parties on the beach, though relations later strained due to colonial disruption and the devastating 1789 smallpox outbreak.
• Naming: The cove earned its name from the initial campsite set up by Phillip's exploratory party.
Maritime, Scientific, and Military Uses:
• Water Police and Pilots: In the 19th century, the cove operated as a base for water police, harbour pilots, and lifeboats. Robert Watson (after whom Watsons Bay is named) beached his vessels here and later served as harbourmaster.
• Marine Biological Station: Between 1879 and 1881, Russian scientist Nicolai Miklouho-Maclay built a small cottage at the southern end of the cove, establishing the first marine biological research station in the Southern Hemisphere. The site was later repurposed for military housing in 1885.
• Defense Infrastructure: Because of its strategic view over the Heads, Green Point and Camp Cove were heavily fortified from the 1850s through both World Wars—featuring anti-submarine boom net installations, rifle walls, and proximity to later naval training facilities like HMAS Watson.

The first three nights of our six night camping adventure were spent at Balsam Cove Campground on Toddy Pond. We had a great time and roasted a lot of weenies :)
My kids and I packed up and went camping in Keosaqua this weekend. There is something so refreshing about just getting away and being somewhere I can hardly get an internet signal. No distractions, just enjoying the outdoors, nature walks, playing and great times with my family! REFRESHED.
Nothing like seeing a club sandwich coming to your table. The one at Camp Washington Chili in the great state of Ohio is one of the best.
So this is the second year that we've set up camp at this small campsite. Unfortunately this year it was during a storm but we were committed! Two well set up Bell Tents and a vintage Hymer camper van. Apparently there was a power cut for 500,000 people whilst we were camping but we didn't notice!
Last year i got a great photo of the milkyway from the campsite(flic.kr/p/NbGHrC) but this year was more about making sure the tents stayed in place and the kids were entertained :)
My first wild camp up on Snowdon, such an amazing experience!

After a beautiful sunset, darkness fell. Venus, my favorite planet, appeared quietly. I had the whole place all by myself.
Me and Lewis take a trip to The Roaches for a wild camp, location is within the forest after the rock cottage just before you work your way up to the middle and upper levels.
ah, i'm still so noob at this but only because I never have any stars to try it. and when the opportunity comes, I never really get the few hours I need.
I did this when I went camping and I've never seen so many stars in my life! I saw the dipper and.. if I know my constallations, orion and sagitarius? I have no clue :D .. But it was such a sight to see! .. I only had about 30-45 minutes to take pictures because the mosquito's were biting.. although I didn't mind much, my friends did. :P
after this night I came home with 12 new bites! LOL.. but if only i got a few more decent pictures, it woulod have been so much more worth it. but it's all good. I love the stars.
who knew so many stars could exist just an hour away.
Those areas of Pakistan which do have problems with internal militancy are fairly simple to avoid. Imagine that Pakistan is almost 4 times bigger than UK and there are more than many tourist destinations in the country which are breathtakingly beautiful and the people are hospitable as well.
My first camping experience in my life. It was special to me because it was also the first time i shot something at dawn and was at a unique place called White Pocket. I was attempting to shoot the stars as background but the Moon was lit up that night.
Had a great morning with the @focusaustralia Group - We had a combined shoot at Hornby Lighthouse & Camp Cove.. Followed by an amazing Breakfast at Coco's in Vaucluse.

In the distance, folks are camped out [looks like a day camp] in the Baja mountains. Seen in between San Felipe and Mexicali - Mexico. Note: Might be a film crew.
A commissioned mosaic quilt for a man. My husband said it reminded him of camping even before he saw the Happy Camping print, so I guess that's a good sign. I took this before washing it and I think that maybe it works better to photograph quilts this way. It measures about 61" x 74".
oh, how this would have been made awesome had it been shot with a long exposure..but, alas.. i did not have my tripod.
i entered this into a themed shot on google + today, so thought i would share.
Another one from last Saturdays camping trip into the local Campsie Fells with my two older children Ishbel & Alastair (who are the savages by the fire). Thanks to Eddie for the title. I love the long exposure sparks in this one but just wish the kids had sat a bit stiller for the 2 second exposure. To be fair they were really good sports posing for lots of similar shots.
Vorrei sempre essere altrove, dove non sono, nel luogo dal quale sono or ora fuggito. Solo nel tragitto tra il luogo che ho appena lasciato e quello dove sto andando io sono felice.
