G'day guys,
Today I actually went and did something, wooohoooo! After a glorious week of weather and being stuck inside working, Alejandro and I decided to restart our walking trips. To settle back into things, we thought a nice little walk around Sydney Harbour National Park would suffice. It's basically located throughout quite a lot of Sydney Harbour (surprisingly) with different sections spread over a fairly large area. We went to the Manly sector (aka North Head), the largest of them all. A short ferry ride to Manly later (I may have talked about Manly beach before - same place), and we were ready for our walk to begin. The weather was excellent - pretty warm today, nice breeze, a few too many clouds in the sky (I have become accustomed to clear skies since being back).
The walk wasn't particularly strenuous, probably 6-7km in total so very short by our standards (last time it was the 24km Royal National Park walk). The park houses the old Quarantine stations from the early late 1800s/early 1900s and an old artillery school which was pretty random. The later seemed very modern to me (you could walk through the grounds) so I don't know if it's still used as something today...? The treat of the walk was the fantastic views from the end of North Head, looking straight down into Sydney Harbour with the CBD and glimpses of the Harbour Bridge in the background. Twas very nice. Not much else to say about the walk; was short and sweet and that's what I like. Oh, I also got a sun burnt nose - whoops! Here are a few pictures...
