WILLOUGHBY LEISURE

SATURATION POINT 

We are staying mostly on road this week as the ground is still saturated after all the rain - thanks Debbie - starting at the Willoughby Leisure Centre car park (free parking) we will make our way towards St Leonards and return to the Incinerator cafe for a coffee. The walk is about 6 kms.

The Incinerator has some interesting history...originally designed by Walter Burley Griffin and used from 1934 to 1967 to process waste, it was damaged by lightening and vandalised before an unsympathetic renovation in the 1980s. Work began on the current renovation in 2006; the architects could find very little original design information so used 3-D modelling from photographs to assist with the design. The building now houses a small art gallery and artist space downstairs and the cafe above. It is wonderful that this unique building has been preserved, who would have thought Burley Griffin designed incinerators?.


Please let me know if you are able to come this Sunday especially if the weather is uncertain.

MARCH 26 2017

SLEEP IN THIS SUNDAY!!

BACK WITH MORE ADVENTURES APRIL 2.........STAY TUNED.

HARBOUR SCULPTURES

WOOLWICH WALKING

It is Harbour Sculptures time again, it's always interesting to see how the sculptures enhance Clarkes Point and this year there is a pop up cafe at the Hunters Hill Sailing Club which could ease congestion at the other cafes.

The planned walk is nearly 7kms but we frequently get side tracked when the sculptures are exhibited......

We will meet and park in Franki Street, near the Woolwich Pier Hotel at 8am, fingers crossed the rain stays away for the morning. On street parking is free in Franki Street.

PRIMROSE PARK

We begin our walk at Cammeray then take in Neutral Bay and admire Willoughby Bay views from Primrose Park. An interesting old cemetery in St Thomas Rest Park is also worth a look............who knew that Sexton's Cottage Museum is also on our route?

Meet at the corner of West and Amherst Streets in Cammeray at 8am, plenty of on street parking and plenty of coffee options at the end.
