Balmain August 2012

Saturday, and we drop off Kate at her work Hatrick Catering in Balmain.  I have been in to Balmain a few times, but never really explored so we drive down the high street, past the market, down to Balmain East.  This is just across the harbour from the CBD and with great views - my office can be seen across Darling Harbour (the Aon building below).

 

And across to North Sydney...



The sun is out, and feels like a beautiful Sydney spring day, so we leave the car and we take a walk down to the reserve next to the Wharf.  From the park at Balmain East Wharf across to Sydney Harbour Bridge:



After following the path round the reserve, we find a tidal pool at the end (A Little Beach!), and Thomas, Zach & Hannah have fun with the incoming water.  Not sure how clean the Harbour water is at this point.

There is a large ships anchor in the reserve - couldnt find any description at the site, and nothing on the internet.  Anyone knows what the relevance is, let me know.

From Balmain East back across Darling Harbour towards Barnagaroo...


And south towards Jones Bay Wharf... 



Waving at the passing ferries....

Meanwhile, Thomas examines the lizards on the logs....
