St Leonards and Crows Nest walking : July 3 2024

in Actifit4 months ago (edited)

A different day coming up after a late night watching Tour de France and doing some trades. Tadej Pogecar does what he does - dominate the mountains. Our day - meeting friends for lunch not far. Train - bus day

Forecourt of St Leonards Station - huge water feature and palm trees

New apartment block opposite the station - we got the bus from there

This is a new sign in our local bus stop. All about resisting new planning laws - those big buildings would be what is coming in all the suburbs - 8 stories within 400 metres of stations and maybe even through roads

Had a good lunch - walked back to St Leonards to get the steps up. Photo of the new Warringah Freeway Upgrade hoardings.

Corner of local park hard up on the freeway dedicated to a vege allotment

Old shop precinct turned into a craft centre. Strange that there were shops in the middle of the houses - just 3

A sample of what is still standing - 50s apartments. We got a dining table from the block to the left. These will go as access is 15 minutes to Sydney city centre and 5 to North Sydney offices

Still quite a few old single story houses

Two with columns

Ernest bus station. Walked all the way up to Crows Nest

Most of the cottages are detached. Two semi-detached cottages makes a difference

Crows Nest church

Community centre - all modern

Got the steps in. With a good lunch - snack stuff for dinner.

Trade action: Bought FMC (assigned). Adjusted FVRR sold puts. Bought 88E.AX and MLX.AX - Alaska oil and tin

Looks like you had a fun day!l brother. Those local changes seem interesting, especially the new planning laws. I’d love to explore those areas someday for myself wow

That skyscraper had 24 floors
That’s a whole lot. If I ever get to enter there, I’d be scared😅😅😅
I’m scared of heights
Nice pictures though

That sky scraper is so tall
Have you ever entered something as tall as that before and were you scared?

World Trade Centre before it was bombed. Do not get vertigo

Sky Tower in Auckland was a bit intimidating as it has a glass floor. Could walk over the steel beam that lay across the middle of the glass but not on the glass.

Lived on 16th floor in Bangkok with an open balcony. Just do not look down.
