DECEMBER ALREADY!

This week we have some bush tracks, steps and some street walking starting from  Wollstonecraft Station, park in Shirley Road and meet on the corner near the station. 


This maps out about 7.5kms but has some steep parts to challenge us, some parts of the track were a bit wet so walking boots would be good.


Here are some tempters:

CHISWICK - THE SUBURB, NOT THE RESTAURANT

NOT QUITE IN THE CHOOK YARD..................

This Sunday we start our walk on the corner of Kokoda St and Blackwall Point Road, Chiswick. Park the car in Kokoda St, coffee afterwards in Amoretti"s cafe in Bechert Road (bet you've never been to Bechert Rd!!!)

This is a picturesque walk,(only about 7kms); it takes in some familiar territory for those of us whose sons rowed for High. We visit the beautiful old mansion built by the Renwick family, the old animal quarantine station in Abbotsford and we see the Searle memorial, an interesting post sticking up in the middle of the waterway.

Usual start time of 8am, let me know either by SMS or a comment here if you are coming - the weather forecast is good.

This week we resume a loop walk, along the foreshore, discovering some more enchanting coastal views and lookouts before returning via some residential streets (each week I discover another place I would like to live).

Measuring about 8kms this walk is a step lover's dream, I was distracted by some pretty remarkable views, especially around the Curlew Camp Walk , and Cooee Cove. More history for you Marg, this was an artists camp where Streeton, Roberts and the like all painted at one time. They knew a great view when they saw one.

Once again there is a bit of everything, formed paths, bush track and steps, finishing on a lovely path around the Cremorne Wharf Headland where we ended our walk last week.

SYDNEY SAFARI

EVER SEEN A WHITE RHINO?

Sunday is the date for our Sydney Safari................in the spirit of prolonging our holiday state of mind we thought it appropriate to go on safari at home and see a white rhino - a very fine specimen too.

Let's begin at Milsons Point Station at 8am, walk over the bridge, then take a sculpture walk in the Botanic Gardens, where the rhino is part of Artisans in the Gardens 2013? Sunday is the last day of this great exhibition and a walk over the bridge and back is always fun.

See you Sunday.

PS Meeting point is the bottom of the steps leading to the bridge, eastern side of the station.

BACK ON DECK AND RARING TO GO

CASTLE COVE

Firstly I apologise for posting so late in the week, it may be taking some time for my routines to kick in.......

As it looks like a warm one on Sunday we are going to do a bush walk in Castlecrag, taking in the Harold Reid Reserve.

Meet at the end of Sugarloaf Crescent, Castle Crag at 8am, coffee afterwards at the small cafe on Eastern Valley Way.

Looking forward to catching up.
