This outing will be instead of the presentation scheduled for the 5th September, ie outing on the 4th no meeting on the 5th
Meet at Luna Park at 5:30pm (sunset). Luna Park is at Broughton St, Milsons Point. The nearest train station is Milsons Point; and there is limited, metered street parking. Take shots of historic Luna Park, Milsons Point Wharf (which is under refurbishment), the Harbour Bridge and the city skyline at night. Take a 5-minute walk along the foreshore (the Peter Kingston Walkway) to the Lavender Bay Jetty and Wendy Whiteley’s Secret Garden (Lavender Street, Lavender Bay). Whiteley’s Garden is a NSW State Heritage protected area with Brett Whiteley’s home at 1 Walker Street as well the railway viaduct, Quibaree Park, part of Clark Park and the waters of Lavender Bay. Note: parts of Whiteley’s park are steep and should be walked with care. Walk north up the Lavender Bay stairs to Walker Street. Walk along Walker Street with its historic gothic building, Christ Church Lavender Bay. Continue along Walker Street, turn right at Middlemiss Street and travel to Arthur Street. Arthur Street takes you under the Pacific Highway-Bradfield Highway-Cahill Expressway and you can get shots of the skyline of the North Sydney CBD. Return to Middlemiss St and follow it to the roundabout. Cross the roundabout into Alfred Street with another historic building, the Chinese Christian Church at 100 Alfred St, Milsons Point. Follow Alfred Street to Milsons Point Train Station and cross over to Ennis Road. From here is it’s a short walk to Kirribilli Hotel 35 – 37 Broughton St Kirribilli. Meet at the Kirribilli Hotel at 8:00pm for a meal together. From here it is about a 10-minute walk back to Milson’s Point Station or Luna Park. If you want to kick on, however, visit the Lady Gowrie lookout (Kirribilli Ave, Kirribilli) and Kirribilli House: who knows, you might run into the Prime Minister or other dignitaries if they are staying overnight!
Bring your camera, fully charged battery and tripod.
Important please let me know if you intend to have dinner at the Hotel within the next week as I have to book a table.
