EAST BALMAIN

East Balmain beckons this Sunday. We will take in the Maritime Police facility and discover some walkways  through Illoura and Simmons Point Reserves and generally enjoy the ambiance of this suburb.

The walk is about 5kms, meet at 8am in Adolophus Street, near the intersection with Vincent Street. No info re parking so bring some money with you in case there are meters.

Looking forward to it.

CENTRAL PARK....NOT NYC........CHIPPENDALE

THE OLD AND THE NEW

We have 5kms mapped out around Central Park Chippendale, pretty flat street walking. An interesting mix of the old and new architecture of Sydney.

The landmark Frank Gehry building and Central Park are the modern architectural examples. The interior of Central Park is quite interesting, and the exterior hanging gardens soften the appearance of the building. St Benedict's and Christ Church St Lawrence plus the ornate Sydney Technical College contrast with the modern structures.

Meet on the corner of Blackfriars and Buckland Streets, 8am.

Free parking is available in Buckland, Moorgate and Grafton Streets, but take some meter money just in case.

See you at 8am.

STAY TUNED

Apologies for not posting earlier but......stay tuned.

There is a germ of an idea to walk in Chippendale, around Central Square with the hanging garden building and sculpture in the park. Steve and I will venture into Chippendale for a reconnaissance on Saturday morning and post details of our walk then.

Till Saturday arvo.......

ROSEVILLE MARINA

LONG WEEKEND LOOP

How wonderful to see so many walkers last Sunday, some faces we had not seen for quite some time.This Sunday will be the last walk before Jane and Roger move for their sea/tree change, let's hope for fine weather for their farewell walk.

To send us loopy this Sunday we are discovering some more bush areas adjoining the East Lindfield track we walked a few weeks ago. 

Meet near 15 Normac Street, Roseville, near the access to Roseville Marina and, more importantly, Echo on the Marina cafe(echoonthemarina.com.au)The road is quite narrow with twists and turns but there is parking on the side of the road.

From Normac Street we will cross Boundary Road and skirt Roseville Golf Course before some bush walking on Two Creeks Track by the water under the Roseville Bridge. There will be hills and bush tracks as well as some street walking(!)
