Perambulation 25 April 2019

Shared zone in Charlotte Street at Ashfield Station.

Bikes parked at the Goodman Buildings Johnston Street Annandale on the way  to Stanmore Station from where I caught a train to Ashfield.


 Ashfield Park War Memorial to Soldiers, Sailors and Nurses who died in WW1.  - the Rosemary was planted to remind us of those who died in the Boer War, WW1, WW2, the Korean, Malayan and Vietnam Wars. The Inner West Council put up a plaque in 2017, to those who have died in the Iraq Wars.




 Rotary Park needs some love and perhaps a table tennis table.

White's Creek Catchment in the Rain

-
Checked out White's Creek Catchment in the rain with a few long time residents including an 82 year old who was born at the Private Hospital where the Leichhardt Bolo is and moved to where she lives now when she was 1. She has seen a few changes and people come and go.    Ferris Lane looked fabulous!    The new lintel in Ferris Street seemed to be working well - residents have worked with council to make this happen along with cleaning out nearby drains and gutters.   Evan Jones Playground had a tree down. And a few other trees need mulching.     Water was flowing out of the grate where Styles Street crosses White's Creek and different drivers approached the puddle. The 150 year old salt glazed pipe was still working too!    Photos and Videos at https://www.instagram.com/p/CMvolNkD2Pb/
