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! 
Eastwood

A great walk through another part of Terrys Creek through Eastwood.
There’s a path connecting Fred Spurway Reserve and James Hoskin Reserve and Kilpack Park (The Ponds Creek.)
Parramatta Park

Had a lovely walk around Parramatta Park.
No off leash areas, and the cafe was closed (!) but still, a good spot for a walk.
Lovingly restored at the back of the new Parramatta Oval

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!
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.
State Library Exhibition – “Dead Central”
Posted: June 2, 2019 in historyTags: Sydney History, Sydney weekends, this weekend in Sydney, what to do in Sydney, What to do in Sydney this weekend
Dead Central. the State Library’s current exhibition, is on display in Sydney.
Did you know that Central Station was the site of the colony’s first major cemetery? Thousands of graves were moved to accommodate the new station, which parliament wanted initially built in Hyde Park to avoid disruption.
Graves were moved to other cemeteries across Sydney.
A great exhibition – heaps of photos and a great audio guide. And FREE!

Elder son, Matt. (Whoops, already done Matthew St in Crows Nest! #favouritechild?? LOL)
Such a range of houses around St Ives. Rundown bungalows strewn with rubbish, huge houses with manicured gardens, even old houses with horses in the adjoining paddock (2 horses on a block, probably about $1million per horse!)
The Shakespeare
Posted: November 19, 2017 in Bars, Drinking at the local hotelTags: Beer, Local, Local Hotel, Local pub, Pub, Sydney weekends, wine
The Shakespeare Hotel (affectionately known as “The Shakey” by locals) is a Surry Hills institution. The building has remained practically unchanged since doors were opened in 1879, making it a rare time capsule of old-school pub culture. Inside you’ll find locals who have been coming in for 50 years drinking happily alongside the new generation of young professionals enjoying Surry Hills’ gentrification of the last decade or so.
Old world public bar with lots of timber, old tyles on the wall (inside and out) private areas for function hire, good food and cold beer.
A little hard to get to at the moment… the light rail is heading straight up Devonshire Street so a lot of roads are closed, but it’s worth a trip… terrific.
So, this weekend, we...
