City Outdoors


 With our sparse shared free time it's great to have a 'Nature feel' almost at our door step. And with the excellent "Sydney's Best Bush, Park & City Walks" guide by Veechi Stuart these hidden places are an easy find. Just across the Harbour Bridge we park our car in Northbridge and follow a track past a tiny city vineyard heading down some sandstone steps and follow the coast line of Salt Pan Creek and Long Bay with a silent ship wreck and busy fishing boat landing. Passing under the towering Cammeray Bridge we cross the cricket fields to the Flat Rock Creek. You totally forget being in a big city in this little patch of temperate rainforest. Having lunch with our feet in the little waterfall I can't even imagine having to go to work a couple of hours later....
