Why this spot
Sydney Harbour picnic beach since the 1800s; a century of beer and soft-drink bottles tumbled on the steep sandy shore.
Beachcombing Magazine (Hugh Tranter, 'Sea glass down under'): mostly brown with green, white and pale aqua; glass rolls in the waves on the steep beach so you must grab it quicklyView source →
