So this weekend we went on a whirl-wind trip to New Zealand!

Things are starting to get a bit desperate with Sydney’s COVID 5km travel restrictions.
As we are stating to run out of streets names to visit nearby, we resorted to a bit of generic European holiday cheating!
Abbey St Hunter’s Hill backs on to St Joseph’s College sporting fields – eerily quiet during this period, and the ovals never in better shape.
Longueville’s Amalfi Pl is down by the water.
A nice walk, with fewer stairs than our last Amalfi visit

They did a good job rebuilding after the war.
The Danube

Ahh the Danube. Some famous cities straddle Europe’s second longest river, including Linz and Vienna in Austria.
A little warmer this time; we’ve never visited in Summer before so the change in the landscape is striking.
The next morning, we were on our way. The river was just beautiful!
We docked beside a beautiful, huge old fig, which had some of the local area’s dry stone walls running to it. We found a stone that didn’t belong *
Finished the night with, of course, schnitzel. Perhaps not as good as previous, but still, it completed the holiday, back in Vienna.
And an ice cream 🙂
All in all, a lovely weekend away (in Kiama).

Previous visits included Christmas Day where we had lunch at a hotel, and with the kids a couple of years ago.
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! 
Blue’s Point Rd, North Sydney

Our new pup Indie’s first proper walk. We forgot to take a pic of her first cafe outing!
A wander down this lovely strip this afternoon, following this guide from North Sydney Council.
We’ve walked down this street before and never noticed the former Presbyterian School Hall
1976! 1976! This chimney standing beside the fence at 126 Blues Point Rd belonged to a small cottage built in the 1860s. It was the last in the municipality to have electricity connected in 1976.
Skirting Sydney

This weekend we followed a tour from https://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au called Skirting Sydney.
It focused on The Rocks and around Martin Place. This tour pinpoints key sites where girls and women lived and worked, where they were educated and entertained, and where pioneering activist women held meetings, published journals and sometimes in the process expanded the possibilities for all women’s lives.
Good stuff.
Kelly St, Henley

Robyn’s mother was a Kelly before marrying Keith Bender. We walked Ada St, Erskinville, early in the year.
Henley is a beautiful little pocket on the water just west of the Gladesville Bridge.
Some gorgeous old and new houses with views over the water east towards the city and west down the Parramatta River.
The historic Henley Baths used to be at the end of Kelly St… well, that’s what I’m guessing… buggered if I can find anything about them, but they are on Google Maps!
