The Coramandel Circuit

We did a longer walk today around what we call the Coramandel Circuit.  It is a circle of streets off Hawkesbury Road and just a short distance from our home.  We cross the Road opposite our house and walk down to the turn off to Coramandel Avenue then turn into Turnbull Street down Robyn Street, into Linnet Street and back into Turnbull Street and Coramandel Avenue back to Hawkesbury Road. It took us about 50 minutes, with many stops to take photos and a short walk down Wren Place before we returned home.  Parts of this walk are not paved and proved to be hard on my feet due to the rough surface and many stones underfoot and some of the streets are steep. After all, we do live in the Mountains!

A little copse of Autumn trees on an unpaved area along Hawkesbury Road before reaching Coramandel Avenue.

I love this little laneway lined with trees shedding their Autumn leaves.  It leads to a group of four houses off Coramandel Avenue.  There is a gate, but I have never seen it shut.  I'm not sure whether it would be classified as a gated community.

A lovely touch of gold in this Autumn tree at No. 9 Wren Place.  The number on the gatepost was loose and swinging on a single nail!

A magnificent view of Bees Nest Hill.  Years ago we walked to the top of this hill where there is a magnificent view into the Grose Valley.  This Hill is accessed via the Blue Gum Swamp at the end of White Cross Road.

This Liquidambar Tree stands on our property and was a welcome sight as we neared home, at the end of our walk.

It was a great day for a walk.  Fine and sunny and not cold.  It felt more like a Spring day.
