83 - Huntleys Point, over Gladesville Bridge, under Tarban Bridge

The Three Bridges Walk sounds frightfully impressive but it was an easy walk.  We did in fact cover three bridges one way or another.

On this beautiful July warm sunny day we commenced our walk  in Huntleys Point, that rather exclusive littler suburb  in Sydney’s Hunter Hill Municipality located on the northern shore of the Parramatta River.
From Huntleys Point Road we headed  under the Tarban Creek Bridge which we walked over in November last year.

After following the grassy verge alongside noisy Victoria Road we found the spiral stairs leading up to the footbridge high across Victoria Road.  We were able to gaze down on  the never ending traffic way below.  Then we continued over and down the other side descending  alongside Riverside School.
We gained access to the Gladesville Bridge footpath  via the entrance stairs on the northern end of the bridge.  The Bridge links Hunters Hill to Drummoyne part of  Victoria Road carrying traffic on the Northern Western Expressway.
