Australian Kelpie Statue

On the harbourside walk from Taronga Zoo wharf to Clifton Gardens you will pass by this life-sized bronze statue of an Australian Kelpie in Clifton Gardens Reserve.

The sculpture is named 'Alinta.'

Glenbrook Lagoon & Knapsack lookouts

Our walking group revisited Glenbrook recently, visiting Glenbrook Lagoon reserve and the two lookouts in Knapsack Reserve. (see my earlier Glenbrook Lagoon post)

Elizabeth Lookout

 

 

 

 

Elizabeth Lookout, on the Eastern escarpment of the Blue Mountains, overlooks Penrith and beyond. Sydney's CBD high-rise buildings can be seen in the far distance if the weather is suitable.

The Knapsack lookouts can be accessed from the 'Lovers Walk' fire-trail at the end of Barnett Street.
