Pittwater Life January 2018 Issue

Editorial
How to live the (Pittwater) life
Is there any better place than
Pittwater to spend a lazy
summer holiday? We think not.
Swimming, surfing, sailing,
boating, bushwalks and hiking...
we’ve got it all on our doorstep.
This month we present our
annual Locals’ Guide to help you
make the most of your time off.
Turn to page 24 and you’ll find
information on all that the area
has to offer throughout January.
And regardless of whether
you’re into fitness or fun, don’t
forget the Pittwater Ocean Swim
Series which runs throughout
the month and culminates
in the Big Swim on January 28
(see page 6).
Find out what happened when
we spent a day with our local
water police, who have been
afforded added random drug
testing powers for the first time
this summer (see page 14).
January is also the month of
art exhibitions and sales, with
some talented individuals and
wonderful works (see page 38).
There have been plenty of
announcements on the local
news front – including
a walkway link between
Bayview Heights and Church
Point, and a shared pedestrian
and cycling path to wrap
around the Bilgola Bends. And
we have our ear to the ground
listening to the latest rumblings
over the development of the
Pasadena site at Church Point
(see page 18).
The warm weather provides
the perfect opportunity to pack
up a picnic and head to a local
beach or park; our foodie Janelle
Bloom has come up with some
great recipes that are easy to
make (see page 66).
The New Year will be a big
one for Pittwater Life; we have a
new website arriving soon and
we intend to deliver more of the
great features you look forward
to every month... plus we have a
few surprises up our sleeve that
we know you’ll love!
Here’s wishing all our readers
a happy and safe 2018.
