COVID-19, local only, so a look at where the council is up to re what’s been added to the walk along the river around Rydalmere.
Pretty well done.

Fenced, off leash oval.
Plenty of space to run around 🙂

It was near the start of COVID-19 lockdown, so we walked along the bike path to the shopping centre to buy… yep… toilet paper and rice! We’d made the mistake of not hoarding like everyone else so we were in need.
Lovely day for a walk, so we went along the bike/shared bike/footpath to the shops; while one shopped, the other went for a stroll around the new towers.

Thanks to my sons for this find.
And well done Inner West Council – Marrickville Golf Club closes the first fairway each Sunday afternoon – beers and dogs on the green. Nice!
This video shows the scene 🙂



Old world charm!


At Bayview, on Pittwater, is a beach and spit extending towards the Newport Arms Hotel.
On any given sunny weekend day, there you’ll find hundreds of dogs, either on the beach, oval or swimming.
What a sight!




This weekend we went for a walk through the grounds of our local uni, where we studied in the late 70s and early 80s.
We went for a walk through the uni itself, as well as a lovely off-leash wander through the carparks out the back.
Ahh, memories!

Just like I remember it. Brutal.

Old meets new.

Reminded me of the Jewish memorial in Berlin.

Ah, the old subterranean pathway to the back of the uni

Memories

Getting ready for O-Week

The old return slots

Sleep pods – they were not here in 1979!

Zzzzzz

What to do with a bowling club when the area changes character and the bowlo is no longer viable? Turn it into a community asset. Barefoot bowls, drinks, families, cricket, balls and dogs and picnics.

Lots of families, with and without their dogs

Petersham Park – gorgeous
Queens Park is enormous, and a generous chunk of the park is an off-leash area.
An adjoining cafe is dog friendly as well.

We didn’t let her off the lead because the park was unfenced and those other dogs 500m away were just too tempting!


Great cafe beside the park

Nice area for a walk as well


We were on holiday at Forster, about 4 hours north of Sydney.
Tuncurry is the town across the other side of the lake entrance.
We took Indie to the Beach Street Reserve off-lead area… it has a dog agility area!
Indie isn’t very agile!
