Walk 5: Artarmon to Middle Head
June 26, 2012 The brave and the beautiful walked in the rain.
Rain fell as we rounded the Oval heading towards the path winding under and alongside the Freeway. Yes, wet we were but surprisingly warm on a bleak silver light grey day. Five of us on an easy concrete path before eventually exchanging suburban sounds for the whoosh of rushing creek water cascading downstream after much rain towards Middle Harbour, an occasional whip bird, some cockatoos chipping above, melting mud and pool puddles everywhere.
We were embraced in the magical canopy of this forest world. En route we sighted the delightful aboriginal mural art map, Henry Lawson's Cave and the little ampitheatre, the Naremburn Falls, the She Oaks, shiny green bird-nest ferns, a creek stone crossing and then up, right in front of us suddenly, looming, against a grey sky the dramatic suspension bridge. This is the only way to truly enjoy and admire this bridge from our vantage point below. Someone said "I will never think of it the same way again whilst driving across it"
