Secret Sydney 8: Ball's Head Reserve
This Secret Sydney explores the beautiful Balls Head reserve in Waverton, a suburb of Sydney’s lower north shore just 1.5 kilometers west of the Harbour Bridge. Waverton borders the hustle and bustle of the thriving CBD of North Sydney, so it is something of an unexpected gem to discover over nine hectares of uninterrupted bush reserve with panoramic harbor views located right in the heart of Sydney. Balls Head is a refreshingly quiet place compared to Sydney’s other, more popular harbourfront sites. Despite its location, just a few kilometers away from the city, you can feel like you’re worlds away here. Bring along a picnic rug or put on your best bushwalking gear and come and take in the breathtaking city skyline views nestled amongst the rich and vast natural surroundings of the magic of Balls Head.
Balls Head Reserve
Balls Head Reserve is situated on Port Jackson, 1.5 kilometres (one mile) west of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It is named after Lieutenant Henry Lidgbird Ball, a Royal Naval officer who commanded the Supply on the First Fleet.

Secret Sydney 19: Badangi Bushland Reserve, Wollstonecraft
Bandangi Bushland Reserve
By Katie Rorison
This video, produced as part of a MDIA2008: Broadcast Journalism at the University of New South Wales, highlights the hidden beauty that can be found within the pocket of bushland known as Badangi Bushland Reserve on the northern foreshores of Sydney. I found this site’s beautiful natural environment, combined with the intriguing Indigenous and non-Indigenous historical use of the land interesting and inspiring, and thought this a great opportunity to shed light on a lesser known, but no less worthy, location in Sydney.
Badangi is the Aboriginal word for Rock Oyster, and its use as the title for this piece of land not only signifies an element of the bushland’s natural surrounds, but also pays respect to the historical association this land has had with the local indigenous communities for many years. With an abundance of native Australian flora and fauna as well as multiple walking tracks, Badangi Bushland Reserve is not only a place of peaceful respite for locals, but also has a fascinating industrial history. After European settlement, the sought after harbour front location of Badangi was used as a site for some of the North Shore’s earliest industries including a sugar refinery, kerosene works and the long running Oyster Cove Gasworks; in operation from 1917-1987.

Secret Sydney 5: Dunningham Reserve
The popular Bondi to Coogee coastal walk is one of Sydney’s most scenic trails offering the best views of Sydney’s eastern suburbs beaches. Just off the trail one can find Dunningham reserve, a tranquil lookout which shows off the beauty of Australia’s coastline. My name is Lyndon Christie and this is my Secret Sydney.
Why Are 96,000,000 Black Balls on This Reservoir?
I took a boat through 96 million black plastic balls on the Los Angeles reservoir to find out why they're there. The first time I heard about shade balls the claim was they reduce evaporation. But it turns out this isn't the reason they were introduced.
Huge thanks to LADWP for arranging this special tour for me. Next time let's put the GoPro on the submersible!
The balls are made of high density polyethylene (HDPE) which is less dense than water so they float on the surface of the reservoir even if they break apart. They are 10cm (4 inches) in diameter and contain about 210ml of water. So the main reason they are on the reservoir is to block sunlight from entering the water and triggering a chemical reaction that turns harmless bromide into carcinogenic bromate. This effect occurs with prolonged exposure to bromate so regulators insist that levels be kept below 10 microgram per liter on average over a 12 month period.
