Wollstonecraft to Lane Cove walk, ending with Live Jazz

Wow, I discovered gorgeous parts of my backyard tonight that I had no idea existed on this great 6 km walk with Meet Up.  The undoubted highlight was close views of a Lyrebird out in the open on the rocks as we headed into Gore Creek reserve.  I literally twitched with excitement!  No photos unfortunately as I didn't have the right lens.

Beautiful views across to Berry Island.

The lovely Maj-Britt

The adventurous way to cross a road, through a large drain pipe!

Great live jazz in Lane Cove

Hike details

Starting at Wollstonecraft Station, we took the Gore Cove track to Vista Street in Greenwich. We crossed Greenwich via a number of streets, before heading into Gore Creek Reserve and Lane Cove Bushland park to Lane Cove shopping village.

Spring around Berry Island

Berry Island is one of my daily walks and I took my little camera with me today.  The flowers were out in force.  So beautiful.  I really do live in the midst of paradise.

Perfect winter's day for a walk and picnic

A lovely walk at Berry Island and Balls Head with a picnic half way, followed by lamb shanks (my first attempt) which was delicious. Basically a day of non stop walking and eating.  The perfect way to spend a Sunday!  

Urban Bay Walk (Lavender Bay-Berrys Bay-Balls Head Bay)

I did a great hike with my first meet up group.  A wonderful day with a lovely bunch of people, walking along a relaxed but scenic route in the sunshine.  It was a familiar route but I discovered some hidden gems I didn't know about like the North Sydney Art Gallery and the exquisite Secret Garden.
