Very keen to get to Oslo, either in the dead of winter to experience that endless dark and cold, or the height of summer to experience the opposite.
In the meantime, a stroll down Oslo St in Marsfield will have to do!

We went to Italy for a month a few years ago, and loved it.
This year we’re off to Sicily, and look forward to visiting Messina.
In the meantime, a gelato will have to do!
We are really keen to visit Gallipoli in the next few years. A definite bucket list item.
In the meantime, a stroll down Gallipoli St in Concord will have to do!
Another microbrewer in Marrickville this weekend.
Batch has a couple of outlets, this one in Marrickville was their first brewery.
A constantly changing range of beers to enjoy.
No kitchen, but a pizza truck out the front on the day we visited.
Dog friendly 🙂
Forsyth Park at Neutral Bay, in the shade of Nth Sydney CBD.
Off leash dogs allowed when there’s no sport being played.
Community garden, historic (never used) oil containers for the war effort, playground and a bush path to enjoy.
Love Sydney.
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.)
Back to an old favourite this weekend.
At the end of Birchgrove Point, there’s a lovely little sandy beach where dogs can play and swim in the harbour.
And because the beach is bounded by a wall with access via a narrow set of steps, it’s easy to contain recalcitrant runners!
Cowells Lane Reserve at Dundas is an ENORMOUS off leash park, perfect for a walk for you and your dog.
There’s a creek for her to roll in and get muddy, a level (wheelchair friendly) path for walking, a fenced playground… this park has it all.
So, this weekend, we followed a City of Sydney Irish walk which took as through some of the significant places where events concerning Irish immigrants in the young colony of Sydney occurred.
We learnt that
Drinking Fountain
Irish Famine Memorial at Hyde Park Barracks
