Mort Bay and surrounds

Yeend St wharf, Mort Bay

This morning, whilst Jenn was at Yoga, I had a wander around Mort Bay, armed with my trusty camera phone. It was a great day for it and the scenery was ripe for some photos. I’m pretty happy with the results, which is not always the case with these phones.

The remnants of Balmain’s shipbuilding heritage are fascinating, and if nothing else it’s a pleasant spot to walk the dog or take baby for a stroll. I was pleased to find Ballast Point will be redeveloped to make more water-side parkland (as opposed to a Caltex grease facility). It’ll be a great place for New Year’s Eve and one less industrial blemish on our beautiful harbour.

At the moment, our favorite places are near the river/harbour and we’re looking forward to moving out of a flat and into a proper house somewhere like this, but I think we’ll be looking a little further down river :) Birchgrove and Balmain can be nice but way too expensive to get the space we want. But there are plenty of other great spots near the water.
