The local councils have done a terrific job building a great bike path along the Cooks River from near Strathfield down to the airport.
We’ve walked and ridden bits of this before, but not some of today’s route, and not this year.
And THIS we saw on the way home. What a fabulous idea!
A great day… until we broke down driving home 😦
Credit where it’s due. The local councils have done a terrific job of building a river front walk along the northern bank of the Parramatta River. Today we walked from the Rydalmere ferry stop west to Parramatta, past hundreds of new apartments (thousands of beds?), through industrial blocks, through University of Western Sydney and on to Parramatta ferry stop.
A quick coffee at the Port Bar Restaurant  before continuing west into Parramatta Park before turning around and catching the ferry back to Rydalmere.
Great walk.
LOVE daylight saving  And long weekend public holidays!
Beautiful day for a lovely walk along the Parramatta River from Meadowbank to Silverwater
A fabulous wide, level bike path past ovals, water play playgrounds and more.
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  🙂
Glorious spring day for a walk from Mortlake to Rhodes, through Concord and the grounds of Dame Edith Walker Hospital, Thomas Walker Hospital near Concord Hospital and Yaralla.

Fathers’ Day. A great start to the day, walking from Mowbray Rd to near the Hunters Hill Hotel before lunch at Skiffies At The Spit with kids +
Gorgeous weather again.
Another beautiful Sydney day… spring is coming!
A great walk from Riverview school, around some very extravagant houses at Linley Point with amazing views of the harbour, through bushland up the Lane Cove River to Mowbray Rd.
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!
Beautiful sunny Sunday morning for a bike ride around the waterfront of the inner west, through Drummoyne, Russell Lea, Chiswick, Abbotsford, Five Dock and Canada Bay.
Past the site of the old Nestle Factory too.The original house is still there as you can see in the pics below.
Displayed in various places around St Ignatius’ College, Riverview are signs advising that they welcome visitors to enjoy walking through their grounds. What a pleasant surprise!
We started below the college and walked up through the bush to the top ovals, then made our way through the grounds past beautiful, quiet, contemplative spaces down to the river.
A path along the riverfront, past various rowing boat sheds, sailing clubs, scout halls, parks, marshy swamp and ferry wharves eventually leads to and links up with streets in Northwood.
So, this weekend, we...
