It was a Public Holiday today, so after kicking about in ThePalace(OfLove) for the morning, Don and I took a spontaneous walk to a nearby park unfamiliar to us.
The last time I was in Sydney Park was more than 30 years ago. It is the site of a former brickworks and rubbish tip and back then remediation was pretty basic – it contained a couple of large hills, vast expanses of patchy grass and some heritage listed chimneys. All very bleak and windswept.
Imagine our astonishment to find it now contains an absolutely beautiful large wetland. It was a gorgeous day, really perfect for wandering in nature.
All this less than 4km away and we had no idea it was there. I wonder what other local wonders we have no idea about?

Amazing! I remember windswept + old brick towers too. Love that it’s turned into this.
It’s wonderful! It really made me feel positive about possibilities for remediation of bleak places. Literal and not!
