Conveniently located just near the Cascade Brewery, this road is on the edge of Hobart, the streets above dotted with new, modern (probably expensive) houses.

Richard Street, Greenwich

Posted: October 27, 2018 in Sydney Streets

Richard is Robyn’s late uncle, Wendy’s husband, our children’s great uncle. Emphasize great – a terrific fella who, with Wendy, really got family –  came to all our children’s 18ths, 21sts and the like – didn’t miss a single significant event.

Greenwich is a lovely harbour hugging Sydney suburb, and Richard Street is right on the harbour. Lovely views, very quiet, and a terrific wharf for your dog to swim from!

 

Lauren Close, Cherrybrook

Lauren! Our beautiful daughter! We finally got around to walking your street! Hooray!!
At the northern end of Cherrybrook, towards Pennant Hills, Lauren Close abuts the bush.
Typical of many streets that take their name from a person, Lauren Close is a tiny cul de sac. Neatly kept houses in an aspirational suburb.

Sam, Susan and Henry’s father is Gavin.

On the northern edge of Cherrybrook, abutting the bush, lies Gavin Place.

Robyn’s mum was Patricia.
We’d already walked her street, but we could hardly be expected to walk past another?!

Maurine is John’s mother; 88 and still going (fairly) strong.

Her name is spelt unusually, so we were really pleased to find her street in Melbourne’s west.

We walked it with Wendy, Robyn’s aunt.

Nice to see they were tennis courts in Maurine Court. Maurine loved her tennis; I have fond memories of mum enjoying tennis with a group of ladies every Wednesday at Northbridge.

Wendy Mews, Chirnside Park (VIC)

Wendy is Robyn’s aunt, Patricia’s sister.

We were in Melbourne for the weekend visiting Wendy, so after breakfast we went for a drive and walked Wendy Mews, not far from where she lives on Melbourne’s fringe.
Not an overly taxing walk… Wendy Mews is about 30 metres long.

It’s in a brand new estate with many houses yet to finishing their landscaping.

Gorgeous morning for a walk with good company.
