At Clontarf, opposite The Spit, a great dog friendly beach, before fish and chips at Manly.

Great off leash fenced dog areas, a dip in the Lane Cove River, a walk along the foreshore, a lovely walk through the industrial and residential streets.
Cafe 7-5 7 days a week! 
Barangaroo

The Sydney Morning Herald reported that the “Missing Link” at Barangaroo was opened, so we headed in to the city, excited to walk from Darling Harbour, past the new casino, all the way to Barangaroo Point.
Sadly, their definition of the missing link being opened and ours, differs. Some of the link is open, but until the new Metro station is completed, she’s not open.
We took this pic which is part of what’s been opened up. It’s been well done.
Walking from Wynyard to Barangaroo via the Wynyard (rail) link. Not keen on escalators! 
Gladesville

A beautiful late winter’s day for a walk around Gladesville following one of Ryde Council’s Heritage Walks.
In 1963, Harry Triguboff built his first apartments at 20 Meriton St in Gladesville.
75,000 residential dwellings later, still building.
Indie is still getting used to the water.

The Dudley at Paddington is a busy local between Paddington and Rushcutters Bay.
BUSY on Christmas Eve, but each year we always go a park at Rushcutters Bay right next to the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia where we picnic and wander among the boats before they start the Sydney to Hobart.
The Bay Run

So, our last weekend in Sydney for the year and, perfect timing (luck, not design) we finished walking all the water west of the Harbour Bridge.
The iconic Bay Run at Drummoyne was the perfect place to finish up, too. A 7 km loop, it’s one of Sydney’s most well known and well used walkin/running/riding/training/fitness loops.
And so ends the year. Now, on to 2017 and a year of drinking in local hotels! Woohoo!
Lane Cove River

What a beautiful spring morning for a walk from the bottom of Mowbray Road along the northern shore of the lane Cove River towards Fullers Bridge Road.
This part of the Great North Walk takes you through the historic Fairyland Pleasure Grounds, made famous by the Swan family in the 1920s. It’s an easy walk in.
The Council has done a good job of identifying what used to be there, quite extraordinary to imagine women with parasols  and man in boater hat’s and blazers picnicking and going on Ferris wheel and merry-go-round.
Plenty of historic pics here
Meadowbank to Silverwater

LOVE daylight saving  And long weekend public holidays!
Beautiful day for a lovely walk along the Parramatta River from Meadowbank to Silverwater
A fabulous wide, level bike path past ovals, water play playgrounds and more.

ANOTHER gorgeous Sydney spring day for a walk along another part of the Parramatta River… we’ve walked through the grounds of the old Gladesville Hospital before, but not this year.
Great to catch up with son Matt, who lives in Gladesville, for a coffee while we were there  🙂
Where Gladesville and Tarban Creek Bridges meet.
Looking from Banjo Patterson’s grandmothers cottage at Gladesville (now a restaurant) across the SHORE school’s rowing shed.
