Boxing Day - East Balmain Hike

This is a very nostalgic hiking spot for me. It's where I grew up. Paul loves going over there it was a real surprise for him the first time. He used to have that insular northern beaches belief that life and beauty ended at the toll gates of the Harbour Bridge!
So here we go...
There are loads of great hikes you can take, but today we parked in Darling Street and walked down to the water, then around the water to Birchgrove, then looped back to the start. 8km.
I adore the old wharves...
And how's this for a beautiful old church...
St Andrews
and here's a walk around... love those old cottages... when can I move in!!!?

Ok LESSON TIME...........THIS is a pub...

See it looks like it belongs in Sydney, Australia!~ it's not a Bali resort copy in the middle of suburbia!

BUSY BUSY... will update this post later today ;)
