Global warming? Its more like Global cooling in the Southern hemisphere with rain and cold descending in Sydney when it should be blazing hot as it is only few days from Australian summer. It is fun to photograph how succulents are doing in the rain, watching out from their little flower pots out to the world.
We went for a weekend hike today to a special place in Sydney that is a secret, not many people know about.
A monument of a grief stricken wife to her late painter husband at Lavender Bay in Sydney’s east shore steps from the infamous harbour bridge, Wendy’s secret garden is a weaving pathways of lush green bushes, stone steps, thick foliage and flowers up at a steep landscape. We were greeted by a small picnic spot with full view of the bridge before entering the secret trove. The house where the Wendy and Brett Whiteley lived still stands overlooking the views. On the side is a nice stone stairs leading down to the waters of the shore and short walk would lead you to the underbelly of the Bridge and Luna park.
Today we went for a weekend hike at Carradah Park and The Coal loader wharf at Eastern shores of Sydney. A short drive from the city, the place is full of numerous walk treks, heritage of Industrial past, bush lands and look outs with stunning views of the sea. A short hike up and you will be rewarded with breath taking view of both the Harbour bridge and the Sydney sky line in the same panoramic frame in the horizon. A rewarding walk not too far.
