Since coming to Sydney, we have started going for long walks around the neighbourhood. The area of town that we live in has quite a few areas with protected bush land (their type of forest), so we have been going out for walks and enjoying the nature.
Last Sunday, we decided to do a bit of a longer walk and, at the same time, to visit the nearby Lane Cove National Park. We started the walk from our home around 1pm, and we ended it after over 10 kms and 3.5 hours of walking. Lane Cove National Park was amazing. A river runs right through the park, so there was a walking path on each side of the river. You could rent a boat or a canoe and try out your rowing skills. There were also a lot of picnic spots with barbecues. The whole place was really well designed and maintained.
During our walk, we saw a lot of wildlife, including water dragons, and a lot of different birds. The area was so serene. I found it hard to believe that this park was less than 10km from downtown Sydney.
This is another reason why I love living in Sydney. Within a half hour driving distance, you have access to a busy downtown core, excellent shopping, beautiful nature scenery, and a plethora of golden sand beaches!
I have assembled a slideshow of pictures from our walk. Enjoy!
