Hello and happy August.
It's a bit of a tradition for this blog that I do something a little bit special for August - the blog's anniversary month. Well, this year I figured I give walking all the way across Sydney a crack, and make a video of the attempt.
Episode one is below and involves me walking across 5 (new) Northern Beaches suburbs. And yes, I am counting these as visits for the purposes of the blog - I need to get through these, people.

The Route
The overall challenge involves attempting to walk all the way across Sydney in a roughly straight route, which for me is the ocean at Dee Why Beach to the end of Penrith Council at Emu Heights.
It crosses the Northern Beaches, through to the Northern and Northwest Suburbs and then across vast Western Sydney to reach the end goal.
Part one takes me through:
- Dee Why
- Narraweena
- Beacon Hill
- Frenchs Forest
- Belrose
- (and into St Ives)
Part 2 is now out - check it out here: https://www.sydneycompletion.com/2022/08/video-i-tried-to-walk-all-way-across_0237347701.html
Love it! You should consider starting a Completing Sydney walking club
ReplyDeleteYES!!! that would be awesome
DeleteI would absolutely love this but maybe Yaz want to stay anonymous and we should respect that.
DeleteI loved tagging along through the bush. Happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteLoved this video and can't wait for Part 2. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe its been 4 years
ReplyDeleteWhere you said there were lots of trees, was the house I grew up in. My mother was responsible for that! You actually missed the peak of Beacon Hill, which is one of the highest points in the Sydney Basin (not the highest, but useful before electronic communication).
ReplyDeleteAnd you walked past Dee Why Library, a rather nice (and atypical) example of brutalist architecture.
