BUSH WALKING IN THE CITY
To indulge Steve and I, so we don't miss the bush too much , this week we walk around Northbridge and Castlecrag. The walk is about 5.5kms covering some bush and suburban streets. There are a few hills, some bush and water views.........and we visit 'The Haven' a Burley Griffin outdoor amphitheatre.
Meet in the car park at the end of The Outpost in Northbridge, turn sharp left on Kameruka Road, just near our place. Plenty of unmetered parking. Sat nav might read Northbridge Bowling Club.
Cheers,

This Sunday, we have Pyrmont in our sights. This is a fascinating walk, have you ever heard of Darling Island?
This is about a 7km walk, not many hills and definitely no bush tracks, some interesting cityscapes and a fascinating water sculpture featuring cantilevered ladders.......
We begin the walk near the corner of Mount Street Walk and Refinery Drive, no free parking around here so bring some meter food. We then proceed along the waterfront and see the Bridge from a different perspective, before we get up close and personal with the Anzac Bridge.

FIELD OF MARS AND BUFFALO CREEK
A familiar area for most of us to drive by, but how many of us have ventured into the Field of Mars Wildlife Refuge and Cemetery?
This walk will be about 8kms and take in Boronia Park Oval, part of Buffalo Creek Reserve and a wander through Field of Mars, it looks very interesting.
Gotta love this city!
Meet in Princes Street, near the intersection with Pittwater Road, a few coffee spots to choose from here.

Pocket City Farm.
There may not be many starters, and it might rain, but we intrepids are heading to Camperdown to start and finish at the Pocket City Farm in Mallett Street Camperdown. This converted bowling club is a roaring success with a productive farm, cafe and play area. I have been wanting to walk around here for ages so fingers crossed the weather allows us a few dry hours.
If you haven't already let me know you are coming, please do; especially as the weather is so uncertain.
Meet outside the Farm in Mallett Street, park on the street, no meters.
