THE HIKE.
We meet at Wollstonecraft Station on the western side (you can't miss us) and after a quick chat, off we go. You won't believe that you're in the Aussie bush hiking just 5minutes after we've departed. From there, it's a unique mix of gardens, bush, neighbourhoods, views, and Sydney history:
a) Wendy's Secret Garden - a paradise of greenery;
b) McMahon's Point;
c) Berry's Bay Lookout & Balls Head Reserve;
d) The Coal Loader (tunnel pic); and
e) Berry Island Reserve.
The hike is 10kms in distance that isn't technically challenging, but there are enough ups / downs to test your fitness. Be chatty, share some laughs, but please be ready to move with passion. We'll finish at Milson's Point Ferry Stop, and it's a quick two stops to The Pyrmont Food & Wine Festival.
THE PYRMONT FOOD & WINE FESTIVAL.
This is a cracker of an event - right on the water, and it features:
"Free entry - everyone in the community is welcome, 30+ wineries, breweries and distilleries from NSW regions, and local food trucks.
I think 45minutes here is good. Please stay longer, or please leave when you fancy. Or? Please grab my arm and carry on...
THE SECRETIVE WINE GARDEN.
The wine festival will be crowded... so let's finish off properly at Gallon Wine Bar - it's just up the road in Pyrmont. If you've never been, you'll grab your drink up front, and when you get to the rear garden... the eyes / mouth will open with that "Wow. What a place" look on your face.
Transport to Town Hall or Central is easy from there.
This will be a super fun Sunday session! See you there. MJ
