September, 2014
Venue
Chippendale to Darling Harbour
Participants
Colin, Natalie, Peter, Helen and Richard.
Start
Meet at "The Gatekeepers Lodge", Victoria Park for coffee.
Highlights
Walked through Victoria Park and across City Rd into Chippendale, an old working class suburb with terrace houses and a pub on every corner.
Myrtle St was surprisingly quiet and shady and lead us through the heart of this suburb until we arrived at the beautifully restored Mortuary (Regent St) Station.
We then doubled back past the amazing buildings which have recently been completed on both sides of Broadway. The "Hanging Gardens" building may be unique and the new UTS buildings are reminiscent of Barcelona.
By contrast we also visited the old Sydney Institute in Ultimo, a classic old brick and carved stone building with beautiful stained glass windows.
Finish
From Ultimo we walked down through Haymarket and Darling Harbour to have lunch at King St wharf, Total distance 6 to 7 km.
