Here's the mystery sculpture from the other side. It is not a strawberry but (I think) a mangrove pod. I worked this out by process of elimination; the nearby sign said there were sculptures of mangrove pods and pandanus seeds and I sort of knew what pandanus seeds looked like. Anyway isn't it nice? And that's a beach in the background. Where are we? Northshore! Where? Exactly! It looks like it's a community waiting to happen. They've put in a CityCat stop, a road and a playground with toilets and bins and water fountains. They've even put in a beach. A bikeway is being built along the river. Some blocks of flats have been constructed but are empty at the moment. there are signs up promising restaurants and shops and all the rest of it. We rode down a very empty wide industrial rode for a couple of kms from Portside to get here. I'd say in a couple of years from now it's going to be totally different. Wait. What blog am I on?
ah who cares? here's a couple more pics
An old fashioned trawler went by followed by loads of pelicans. the guy on the boat was throwing out all the stuff from his net that he didn't want - it was a real crowd-pleaser!
It's not really a swimming beach but probably good for making sandcastles.
