Jacarandas, New Elevated Swamp Walkway, $18 Pizza & Beers in Paddington!!!
Details
Our last Thursday Taco Session was a great one... let's change it up with some Jacarandas, Centennial Park Swamp Walk, New Architecture, and Paddington Pub Pizza!
THE HIKE. 8kms in total.
Keeping this text short and sweet... We meet at Metro St James (right behind the station) - I'll be there at 5pm having a beer (their live music is really nice). 535pm departure. We'll walk through beautiful Hyde Park, down Liverpool Street then I'll lead us to some super cute / old cottages that Jacarandas fall onto (see the Giuseppe Labrador pic)...
From there, we'll head to Oxford Street to check out some architecture - 25 Hours Olympia Hotel just opened - it looks stunning. 100m up the road the Jacarandas are everywhere...
Up to Paddington we go - we'll do some late nite window shopping before hitting Centennial Park. Don't worry if you did our last Thursday session because a new "swamp walkway" has opened:
"The badu ngura boardwalk (named after the term for "area of freshwater" in Dharawal language) allows Sydneysiders up-close access to one of the city's most unique ecosystems."
Let's do a loop and check it out. After that, The Light Brigade is a lovely pub in Paddington - art deco style with cheapie pizza nite. I won't make a reservation, but we'll be there 730pm or so. Let's find some space. It's an easy 333 bus to Bondi Junction or back to Town Hall when we finish.
THE DETAILS.
a) Honour your RSVP. This is a social session. “No shows” mean you’re anti-social. Ban incoming.
b) Relaxed pace, but let’s move with passion too. Calories out, then pizza calories in, eh?
c) $10 cash / PayID for this one.
d) If you’re late, no dramas. I’ll post my Google Maps location if you send me an SMS. Find us.
e) Please, no “I’ll see you at 715pm at the bar”. We hike as a group then we cheers as a group. I’m tired of guys showing up to our amazing events just to crack onto women.
f) Bring mates, dates, etc...
See you soon! MJ
