Walking from Iron Cove to the Cook's River

Image
The walk from Iron Cove to the Cook's River is about 7km.  At Cooks River, 2018 It is well connected to Buses along Parramatta Road, Light Rail between Leichhardt North and Dulwich Hill and Heavy Rail at Lewisham and Dulwich Hill. There have been some changes since I did the Leichhardt to Cook's River by Folding Bicycle in January 2010. Since then the light rail has been extended to Dulwich Hill and there has been development at Lewisham and Summer Hill. 2018               Leichhardt to Cooks River by folding Bicycle January 2010   Pocket Park , Welcome relief on a shady Footpath   Historic Railway Bridge Muse Cafe, Summer Hill Disused Railway line and Mungo Scott Flour Mill   Hoskins Park Gates at the top of public walkway steps Crossing the Cooks River and Marrickville Golf Course Cricket on the Banks of the Cooks River Cooks River Lewisham West,Jan 2010 2018 Light Rail, Lewisham West, Nov 2018 2018 2018 Taverner's Hill2018...
