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.
