Robyn’s mum was Patricia.
We’d already walked her street, but we could hardly be expected to walk past another?!

Joanne Place, Bilgola Plateau

Behind Newport Beach there’s a considerable hill which rises up to Bilgola Plateau. Over the crest and down the hill towards Pittwater is Joanne Place.
So… after breakfast at Newport, by the time we walked down Joanne Place our legs were feeling it!
Pretty little street in a lovely area of Sydney.
Lynne Place, Hornsby

What to do? Go with the given name (Lynne St) or what Lynne is known by (Charlie Close near Wet ‘n Wild, Sydney or Charlie St at Middleton Grange). In the end we settled for Lynne St, Hornsby, which we walked with friends Tracie and Mal.
Like many streets with a given person’s name, Lynne St is pretty short, as evidenced by the panorama I took using the Google St view app.
It’s often not until you walk around streets that you realise where you are in relation to other locations you know well – like the Golf Driving Range at Thorneigh we could see (in the pic below.)
Cameron St Birchgrove

Cameron is one of nephews who is getting married to Eliza next week, so a good time to walk Cameron St. on a glorious winter morning.
Birchgrove is a fabulous suburb, so close to the city with a wide range of off-leash dog parks with harbour access. We could very easily downsize to here.
As we’ve found in previous years, a great variety of little pubs and cafes too.
Waverton to Woolwich

We started with breakfast at The Coal Loader Cafe. in Balls Head Rd at Waverton, where we were a few weeks ago.
Beautiful spot – have to remember this as a venue for a 60th or similar.
From there we headed west, making our way around Balls Head Bay and Oyster Cove, around Berry Island Reserve and on towards Greenwich above the fuel tanks at Gore Cove, some of which have been removed, but some are still in use today, pumping fuel from here to Clyde near Parramatta.

Oyster Cove at the end of Wondakiah Dr at Waverton. Dense housing around, but lots of parkland maintained. Nice!

Berry Island – the point where land was filled to connect it to the mainland and make it no longer an island as such,
