Macquarie University - Sculpture Park

Macquarie University has considerable areas of open parkland, with many original sculptures dotted across the campus. My favorite area is the Lakeside Walk, part of which can be seen in the photo below.

Transport options: Macquarie University can be reached by a train station of the same name, via Epping or Chatswood, and is also served by many bus routes.           

Leura Falls Walk

This walk in the Upper Blue Mountains, follows the Leura section of the Prince Henry Cliff Walk for around 2Kms, and has great views from lookouts along the way. My first blog post described part of the Katoomba end of this walking track.

Tarpeian Rock Lookout

We started this walk at Gordon Falls Reserve (near the end of Lone Pine Ave.) about 2Km from Leura train station. To finish our walk we turned off the The Prince Henry Cliff Walk, and walked up past the Leura Cascades to the Picnic Area. The Leura Cascades is my banner photo at the top of this blog.

Once back in Leura Mall there is no shortage of cafes.

Wildwalks notes describe the reverse route. The walk to Tarpeian Rock and Bridal Veil Lookouts can also be done as as short walk from Cliff Drive.
