The Ponds Walk revisited
Most of our walking group walks are not new to me now. My last visit to 'The Ponds Walk' between Carlingford and Rydalmere, was in 2011. I have added some photos (below) from our recent walk.

Woodford
We first walked a circuit, which was faint in places, on the southern side of the station. This track in Wilson Glen was dedicated in 1932 by Thomas M. Wilson, as a public reserve for all time in memory of his wife.
Our group then crossed over the railway foot bridge to Memorial Park on the north side of Woodford.
After crossing the highway we walked to Mable Falls Reserve.
The falls have only had a small flow when I have been there, but its an attractive spot none the less.
From Mable Falls we continued on to visit Edith Falls before returning to Woodford station. The photo above is from my earlier Transit of Venus Track post.

Yandhai Nepean Crossing - Penrith
Yandhai Nepean Crossing, is a pedestrian and cyclist bridge between the Penrith and Emu Plains side of the Nepean River officially opened on 28 October 2018
by the Premier Gladys Berejiklian and Stuart Ayres, Member for Penrith. The crossing is Australia’s longest single clear-span
bridge, measuring 284m
in total length with a 200m main span across the Nepean River. It replaces the undivided footpath next to the roadway on the nearby Victoria Bridge.
The word ‘Yandhai’ contains elements of Darug language, and means ‘walking in past and present’. ‘Nepean’ has been kept in the name to signify the bridge’s place. ‘Crossing’ (instead of bridge), signifies both the bridge’s modern purpose and the historical use of this location along the river as a significant crossing.
The new crossing gives a much improved bridge to bridge circuit walk of 6.4km via the Penrith Valley Bridge

We enjoyed returning to this popular walk, starting at the bus stop at Spit Reserve and ending at Manly Ferry Wharf (around 9km).
