As most places are closed today, we thought it’d be a good day for a long walk. Before setting out, we cooked a quick brunch of pan fried pork and prawn wantons, which we’d bought frozen from Aldi.
Chatswood is a very pleasant neighbourhood, with wide leafy streets and beautiful huge houses. There are also quite a few parks, and we walked through a couple, including Muston Park and Barambah Reserve.
After about an hour, we reached Echo Point Park, where the Two Creeks Track begins.
The Two Creeks Track is a beautiful and very scenic trail along the river. It was a hot and sunny day, so we were very glad that much of the first half of the walk was shaded.
After about an hour, the track became much less clear and we were slightly unsure which way to go. At one point we ended up backtracking the way we came then trying the other direction. This then led us to what looked like another dead end, however we could see the path continuing in the distance. So ended up scrambling down some rocks so we could reach it.
The track ends up in East Lindfield. We walked through the town to Lindfield train station, where we caught the train back to Chatswood. The shopping centre was actually pretty open, so we had a quick wander around and picked up a few things to eat. We then walked back to our hotel to cool down and do some more New Zealand planning.
In the evening, we cooked a kangaroo steak sandwich for dinner, along with the leftover halloumi from yesterday. It’s the first either of us had tried kangaroo, and it was pretty tasty. A little gamey, but not a really strong flavour.
After dinner, we did a bit more New Zealand planning then watched an episode of Money Heist before bed.
