Well, actually, this included some hiking, trail running, and a bit of photo taking walking. I got up to go running and again it was raining early on Sunday morning. Luckily the showers were brief and I was able to head out and enjoy the morning.
The run starts out at Artarmon train station, which is effectively where I’m staying in Sydney for the month. After a short run through the neighborhoods, the path begins at Artarmon reserve and meets up with the relatively new bike/run paths along the Gore Hill Freeway. Unlike the weekday mornings, the path had quite a few runners, cyclists, and walkers. It then flows into the Bicentennial reserve and Flat Rock Gully before emptying out in Long Bay.

I did find a tiny set of stairs at the harbor, which took me on a path alongside a golf course and then into the neighborhoods of Northbridge. The run was a really nice mix….and will definitely be doing it again next weekend.
- Sports field at Artarmon
- Mural at a tunnel under the road
- Incredibly lush vegetation in the Flat Rock Gully
- These “rapids” were a bit more tame compared to last Sunday when there were torrential rains
- A splash of color in the green forest
- The trails have stone steps where needed; a great tracks system
- fancy pants homes along the run
- saw about a dozen different types of birds on the way
- bridge over Flat Rock Gully



































Good stuff man, looks like a great route. Particularly like the harbor pic through the trees… IMG_0895.
