This cafe in Parramatta, just south of the train station, roasts its own coffee and does a delicious breakfast.

Look, it can’t always be about alcohol!
So this weekend we visited a local artisan French baker in Ryde.
Coco Cannelle in North Ryde.
Just like being in France, and if the queue out the door to buy on a Saturday morning is any indication, everything they have here is pretty special!
Batch Brewing

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 🙂
The Bald Rock

The Bald Rock Hotel is an historic pub in the suburb of Rozelle, down near White Bay in the shadow of the Anzac Bridge in the Inner West of Sydney.
Wikipedia says that Bald Rock was originally a suburb within Balmain.
The hotel was built in 1876 and was a lot closer to the harbour when first built; subsequent landfill means it’s now a bit further from the water.
The Bald Rock is sandstone inside and out and is heritage-listed.
It retains much character and is a favourite of locals in an area that used to have a pub on nearly every corner but has in this last generation become more gentrified and where community gardens and parks now flourish.
Huntley’s Cove/Point to Gladesville

ANOTHER gorgeous Sydney spring day for a walk along another part of the Parramatta River… we’ve walked through the grounds of the old Gladesville Hospital before, but not this year.
Great to catch up with son Matt, who lives in Gladesville, for a coffee while we were there 🙂
Where Gladesville and Tarban Creek Bridges meet.
Looking from Banjo Patterson’s grandmothers cottage at Gladesville (now a restaurant) across the SHORE school’s rowing shed.

A beautiful, late winter’s day; a bike ride along the cycleway beside the Cooks River from Canterbury north to Rookwood, towards Homebush Olympics site, and back.
But seriously, fishing in this pretty polluted river? Hope he doesn’t have a seafood restaurant!

An early start before a busy weekend with things to do, places to be and people to see.
A short walk along through some streets and bush tracks, no waterfront.
We are definitely making progress!
A really pretty, beautifully maintained, walk through the bush from the end of Ford St to Bob Campbell Oval
Love this tree root.

Chilly!
After parking, we walked to the base of the ANZAC Bridge where we had walked some weeks ago and walked around the water’s edge to the bridge, completing that bit of the loop.
Breakie at Zebra Lounge along the way, and a coffee on one of the finger wharves before walking past the new Barangaroo urban development, we finished up at The Rocks where Sydney’s annual Aroma Coffee festival was running.
Great day.
ANZAC Bridge, where the old Glebe Island Bridge is/was.
Pirrama Park, near Flying Fish restaurant
New buildings between king St Wharf and Barangaroo
Cardboard architecture… I guess because this is temporary, waiting for the new casino to be built??
