Lindfield's secret village greens

 

 

 

Well hidden away in a south-western pocket of Lindfield is St Crispins Green. You need to study your Google Maps pretty carefully to find this one. Nobody else seemed to have just yet.

But the jewel in Lindfield's crown could be the nearby Jinkers Green. Some locals have discovered this one, but I suspect they're all sworn to secrecy when they move into the area.

More Little Blue Gum

 

 

 

I found my way back to Lindfield's Little Blue Gum Creek yesterday, but via the front entrance this time. It turns out it has a car park, a boardwalk, and MICROBATS!

It's officially the Sir Philip Game Reserve. It's named after a former NSW Governor, whose wife Lady Game is probably better known, due to the road named after her.

The microbats had a special high-density housing facility built for them.

 

 

 

 

Upstream and off-track, it's even better.

Lindfield's Little Blue Gum Creek

 

I discovered yet another hidden-away little bushland gem today, with a couple of kilometres of excellent bush tracks secreted within it. It's deep in the heart of North Shore suburban Lindfield. Here's where you get to cross Little Blue Gum Creek.

Covid countdown - parks of Lindfield & Roseville

We're into Week 6 of our NSW Covid lock-down now. At least, I think so - it's all become a bit of a blur. And the rules are beginning to be relaxed a bit.

Yesterday's legal exercise parks were in the Lindfield and Roseville areas.



Here's the Seven Little Australians Park, named in honour of children's author, Ethel Turner, who lived nearby.

The Lindfield Oval, and the Lindfield Soldiers Memorial Park.















Leftover Lindfield Rugby Club socks from the recent Anzac Day memorial event. (Non-event maybe this year.)

On then to Roseville Park, with the Roseville Park Oval, tennis courts, a rather nice wooded area, and a very attractive restaurant, housed in Ku-ring-gai's oldest building. Must come back and research this further when we're allowed in again.






Nine out of ten for this park. And again it's one I'd never set eyes on before.
