Picnic!

We're still supposed to be in lockdown, but Premier Gladys was determined to give us some new freedoms. This weekend it was all about picnics.

"You're allowed to have a picnic" said the good lady. And look what happened! The people clearly wanted their picnics. Enough of this exercise nonsense!

Here's the view in Wahroonga Park today.

Exercise parks of Lockdown 2 - No.92: George Christie Playing Field

 

It's in Wahroonga, near the southern end thereof. It's a pretty simple rectangular field, probably only rating 3 stars. Except it's got views of the San hospital, and connects to an excellent network of walking tracks and the Great North Walk. And some rather colourful crimson rosellas too. Definitely worth another star or two.

 

 

Five stars!

Ku-ring-gai Chase NP's undiscovered bits #3: Cockle Creek & its tunnel

It's a few hundred metres south of the Banksy tunnel, which carries Golf Course Creek. (See: Banksy Tunnel) This one carries Cockle Creek, as well as the odd adventurous bushwalker commuting between Wahroonga and Asquith.

It's accessed from near Mills Park in Asquith, or from a side track off the Gibberagong Track near its North Wahroonga start.

Covid countdown - benchmarking the lockdown

We keep hearing stories of the police imposing huge fines on people sitting quietly on park benches, or horror of horrors, eating kebabs on them.

Meanwhile one leading infectious diseases expert said he doesn't see why sitting on park benches does anything to spread the disease.








The good citizens of Wahroonga were making it clear today what they thought of this particular 'social distancing' rule.

Covid countdown - Wahroonga Park

This one's small but it's almost perfect. Its one drawback is that it's usually very hard to park right next to it. Not today though.
