A
trip to Sydney for Kara's medical treatment. It started at 10 am and finished approximately
3:30pm. There wasn't much for me to do there but wait so I used the time to do
some nearby activities.
Today, I decided on a bike ride
along the Cooks River cycle path.
I started going to the west but
found it a bit boring after awhile as it was too urbanized.
I backtracked and headed towards
the east.
This was much better. Highlights
included: low hanging tree branches, low bridges, narrow bridges to cross,
roads with traffic to cross, groups of birds, a blue tongue lizard, a chat with
an old Scottish guy, some regenerated wetlands, lots of paths and a few tracks.
I rode as far as the Princess
Highway bridge at Tempe. This brought to mind a lot of very old and fun
memories. My very first friends and I use to ride our bikes from Newtown to
Tempe and wander around Tempe Tip (gone now), crawl along the length of the
Princess Highway bridge underneath it, walk along the top of the oil pipes on
the bridge and even floated out to Fatima Island on old bedding mattresses. The
latter sank on us and it took ages before a fisherman would give us a lift back
to shore.
So it was a very good day,
remembering and riding.
