Sydney, Australia: Iron Cove

An easy circuit of one of the inlets in Sydney Harbour surrounded by houses but with pockets of green space and history.
I took a bus from the central city and alighted near King George Park before walking across the distinctive Steel Truss Bridge.
Navigation for the walk is simple, just follow the coast around in a circle, I went anti-clockwise. Rodd Park at Rodd Point is the half way point.

The first major point of interest immediately after the bridge is the Drummoyne Pool.
Rodd Park is an attractive small peninsula with great views and a small memorial.

On the return leg one of the more intriguing features is where parkland is interspersed with remnants of a former mental health facility, the heritaghe listed Callan Park Hospital for the Insane.
 Amongst some of the ruins on the foreshore once gets glimpses back to the bridge.

Summary: Easy walk, 7.4 km, 2 hours walk

Walked: February 2018
