The Northern Suburbs

There is a rivalry between the Eastern and the Northern suburbs in Sydney. The Eastern suburbs are more distinguished, influential, people are impressed when you tell them you live there. The Northern coastal suburbs may be considered new money, they also have some beautiful beaches. We obviously, live in the Eastern suburbs. ;)

We decided to do the Cremone to Mosman walk a few weekends ago (this was drafted about a month ago!). It was a fine and sunny day, top of 30 degrees Celsius (mid-high 80's). It was 3PM by the time we left our terrace in Edgecliff and made our way to Circular Quay to catch the ferry that would take us to Cremone. The 15 minute ferry ride was very pleasant, especially the watery breeze that cooled us off on such a hot day.

Our first stop was the Light House, situated on a little cliff overlooking the bay. It is a beautiful place to sit and watch the sail boats pass by.

We continued along the path that would take us to Mosman. Part way through, we reached a dead end! The pedestrian footpath was blocked off due to construction. We made our way through some residential neighborhoods hoping to find the other side. Eventually, one of the home owners (of a mulit million dollar home on a cliff overlooking the water) let us use her private entrance to the pedestrian path.

Finally reaching Mosman, we weren't sure which direction to go. We were meeting Paul and Lili for dinner at RSL for their famous burgers (Paul swears it is the best burger in Sydney, even though they put beets on them!). We started up this big hill and found our way to Military Street (the main road in Mosman). Military Street has a nice collection of cafes and shops.

We did this walk so long ago that I don't remember much! We promise to do better about updating our blog! The link below shows the Cremone to Mosmon walk.
