Resuming a former life after almost decade in New York City ..."And I reflected, not for the first time, what a strange, small, distant country Australia is." (Bill Bryson, 'In a Sunburnt Country', p.155)

#10. Curlew Camp walk
The incredible weather continues - sunny & 24 degC (78F) today so we decided to catch a ferry and go hiking beside the harbor. We took a ferry from Circular Quay to Taronga Zoo, then headed west on foot for a mile back to Sirius Cove and the return ferry trip from Mosman Bay.
It was sparkling out on the water but a bit hazy, due to 'burning off'.
The bush walk is a.k.a. the "Curlew Camp" walk, named for the waterside hangout of Arthur Streeton and his artist pals in the 1890's
Sirius Cove hasn't changed much, as you can see. And seems like it was a pretty hazy day back then, too.
