Weave through Sydney’s southern suburbs, head over the Woronora River, and down to the very tidal Forbes Creek where the distinct blue and white The Boatshed at Woronora sits nestled between waterfront houses. Canoes spill out of the shed and lie in wait of high tide, while kayaks and other craft are stacked inside the shed. With only three tables outside in the sun, its first in, best dressed. The rest of the seating is within the actual boatshed, where diners share the space with life jackets and kayaks. This is a true blue working boatshed, and it’s wonderfully decked out in nautical nick-nacks. The homemade style scones are served at room temperature, and taste creamy and fresh. This in turn, alongside the plentiful thickly whipped cream, makes the mediocre strawberry jam negligible in affecting the overall taste experience.
