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!

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!

Indie had a great romp in the fenced, off-leash dog park before we headed off for a walk.




Sydney Park

We’ve walked by a hundred times, but never actually entered.
What a mistake!
Sydney Park is huge, with heaps of off leash areas, and an interesting history.





A plane! Rarely seen in COVID-19 during 2020!











Lived in this area for years and didn’t know about this lovely little sanctuary, littered with possum boxes, bird nesting boxes and more.
Running just near the train line, opposite Sommerville Oval.
Gorgeous.

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!


Castle Hill Heritage Park
Posted: November 4, 2019 in history, Sydney StreetsTags: Sydney, Sydney History, weekend
In 1801, Governor King established government farm at Castle Hill to provide grain for the colony within three years, 700 acres had been cleared.
It didn’t take long for convicts to try and escape and martial law was declared.
I’d heard of Australia’s Battle of Vinegar Hill but didn’t realise that the root of this battle was started here in Castle Hill.
It’s pretty remarkable that such a large tracts of parkland has been preserved for the future. Beautiful park to wander through.







We followed the Hunters Hill council’s walks… walk #2 from here
A lovely walk around the gorgeous older houses and estates.

That View!

Lovely!
