Series: The Dams of Greater Sydney
This is a series of articles exploring the network of dams that provide water to Sydney.
Tree Reflection
The magnificent Water Garden at Mayfield in NSW, captured in autumn. On the left is the red Japanese inspired bridge, on the right the Bluestone bridge and waterfall.
Pool Reflection
An illusion built into the design of this pool makes it seem the pool is actually part of a larger lake (situated below this pool).
Look – Self Portrait
A shot of me taking a photo of the Dobell Memorial Sculpture at the intersection of Pitt and Spring streets in Sydney, with a pedestrian crossing with a “Look” sign reflected by the mirror-like finish of the sculpture.
Swain Gardens
This is a “secret” garden not known to many except locals as it is not visible from the street so you have to know where to go, and we have visited this garden many times over the years and taken many interesting photos there.
Flat Rock Gully
We started on Wilksch’s Walk, named in honour of local resident Eric Wilksch for his efforts in lobbying Council to retain bushland in Flat Rock Gully. This takes us to Tunk’s Park and Cammeray Bridge.
Cordia Way
The Artarmon Link Path (Cordia Way) is a wide, gently undulating pedestrian/cycle path that runs from Shepherd Road to Artarmon Reserve, following the original path of the creek (which is now underneath the concrete).
Artarmon Reserve
Starting from a pedestrian tunnel underneath the rail line close to Artarmon Station, which is decorated with colourful murals, a short walk through a pleasantly wooded corridor next to the train line leads us to the oval. There are some sculptures of acorns near the oval.
Our Lady of Dolours
This is the Chatswood Catholic Parish Church, located quite close to the Chatswood Chase Shopping Centre. I have always admired this building and love taking photos of it at night.
North Willoughby Heritage Plaque walk
This is a tour through various Civic Heritage Commemorative Plaques that have been installed in order to commemorate the heritage of Willoughby.
Creatures of Roseville
This is a special article featuring animals and wildlife I have encountered in the suburb I live in.
The Churches of Roseville
Roseville has 4 churches that I know about – St Andrews, St. Barnabas, the Uniting Church and Luke’s Presbyterian.
Ferndale Park
Ferndale Park is a long and narrow 9.8 hectare remnant bushland reserve that is surrounded by residential properties, located within the Lane Cove River catchment, Chatswood.
Beauchamp Park
Beauchamp Park is our local park, situated in the upper park of the Scotts Creek sub-catchment.
Harold Reid Reserve
The Harold Reid reserve consists of a sandstone hill called The Sugarloaf located on a headland, sandwiched between Crag Cove and Castle Cove and facing into Sugarloaf Bay and then onto Middle Harbour.
Down the Street
This is a quick walk down the street to the industrial area close to Roseville Chase.
Blue Gum Reserve
This is the closest walking track to our house, a mere block away in Chatswood West.
