The M5 is a mixed blessing. When the traffic is good, it’s great.
When the traffic is bad, it’s the bane of everyone’s existence, clogging up the main road and all other feeder roads. These photos were taken on a good day.
The other good thing due to its coming is that we have a bike/pedestrian track that runs alongside the M5 East for almost 10km, from Bexley North to Riverwood.
Next we’ll go for a walk along this track.
Our home is a very short walk from the shops.
You past the medical centres, now resident in some of the old houses.
Until you reach the 1940’s style shops. Sometimes there’s even a flood, if there isn’t a traffic jam. But I suppose Sydney is one giant traffic jam these days.
Changes are afoot in Kingsgrove. Beside the brown brick houses, the apartments have arrived.
I’m not completely against the development, as it provides the suburb with a supermarket, and now completing the weekly grocery run is just a walk away. It is however imposing compared to the low-key 1940s buildings that it towers over.
It was a weekend down the South Coast for me. My flatmate and I haven’t been back for some years, so we both looked forward to showing my German friend the Aussie countryside. Despite some setbacks, the weather and the South Coast didn’t disappoint:
