Cooks River winds through Sydney’s inner suburbs for around 23 kilometres, flowing from the Canterbury area to Botany Bay through a mix of parkland, wetlands, and urban neighbourhoods. From here, there are beautiful, wide-open views across the water, where you’ll likely see plenty of waterbirds along the banks. It’s a lovely spot to pause and watch rowers, cyclists, and the changing activity on one of Sydney’s most accessible urban waterways.
