STOP PRESS: Passed a million. Next is 70 more photos for a thousand geo-positioned photographs. Every few days for a long time I have been added photos and some reviews to the Google Maps that everyone uses every day. I like to post photographs that describe a place and sometimes includes a bicycle or bike […]
Almost a year ago I explored Harrington and Oran Parks, two suburbs in the south western extremities of Sydney. Both have a pretty decent collection of shared paths. Oran Park streets are named after all the greats of the car world inc Peter Brook drive and Skaife Street and The Straight. Enjoy, the whole area […]
