On the Grand Pacific Drive, the first coastal community you reach after leaving Royal National Park is Stanwell Park with its beach just off Lawrence Hargrave Drive.
In our picture a hang-glider hovers over the beach after gliding off Bald Hill.
When the weather's fine for hang-gliding, a number of this kite-like craft take off from the hill, rising with the thermals, before coming down gracefully to the beach.
