We are finally getting to visit Caroline's family after a year or two of Covid hassles and restrictions.
Airplane travel, its been so long it's hard to remember.
Sydney's Olympic Park, 20 kilometres west of Sydney's CBD, was conveniently placed near where we needed to be near with some reasonable accommodation and heaps of things to check out.
ANZ (?) Stadium was the Olympic Stadium and is now used for Rugby as well as other sporting events. Looks like ANZ may might have lost the naming rights.
We visited Wentworth Common for a wet parkrun Saturday morning, maybe it should have been called "wetworth".
Pre-parkrun.
The frogs were right at home in the rain.
The Brickpit. I love a bit of local history.
The Brickpit was a state run quarry.
An Aerial Walkway surrounds the pit, which although very stable was a bit disconcerting being up quite high.
Everything was so green with all the rain.
The Brickpit is home to the endangered Green and Gold Bell frogs.
I reckon it will take a while for the council to catch up on all the mowing.
The area is home to so many other venues too; State Hockey, Netball, etc
Sydney Showground pavilions
Was very interesting to walk through major public areas with no crowds about. The athletics ground had the junior state championships on. Other than that it was pretty quiet.
The swimming center.
Showground Stadium: home to Sydney's second Australian Rules Football team, The Giants.
Australian Ninja Warrior Course is set up in some space next to the ANZ Stadium.
I remember it so well when I was watching Cathy Freeman winning the 400m at the Sydney Olympics, way back in year 2000.
Every medalist was listed into the pathway around the cauldron.
The Sydney Olympic Caldron was moved from the stadium into Cathy Freeman Park next door.
A tribute to the 8 Australian women that past the Olympic torch around the stadium and lit the caldron.
The Attractor: a 25 metre high ladder being a symbol of the desire to ascend.
Some street art hiding a construction shipping container.
A walk through water fountain. It did not really matter if I got wet as it had been raining most of the day and I was saturated from running around out in it.
One of two athletics sporting complexes.
Crashed UFO (lol) or a big, expensive Olympic discus with a lot of Greek history and meaning engraved on it?
A massive tree to finish. Glad they were able to stay between all the big sporting complexes.

Really appreciate your hard work and amazing post! I have a feeling there will be another one coming out from you here pretty soon!
Not from Sydney but other places for sure. You should do the north west I have heard around Portland is great
Absolutely and I can probably document that aftermath of a year of riots in downtown Portland but it's still too dangerous.
All the surrounding areas absolutely phenomenal from the coast to Mount St Helens the gorge and more.
I've actually done what I could to stash away quite a bit of post under my belt that has the Columbia River Mount Hood photography bagby Hot springs adventures...
Let alone me going to Wisconsin.
I do believe I was blogging at a few of the rainbow family adventures.
I can't wait for me and puppy dog to go have some amazing adventures this coming year.
I !LUV this ❤️ I'm so glad we got to come to Sydney 🙏
