Continuing on my walking tour around Sydney (find my tour of Surry Hills here (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=578006)) the next area I wanted to visit was the neighborhood of Glebe. One of the main reason's I've come is to check out the new Foreshore Promenade which has helped connect the area back to its waterfront along Blackwattle Bay. I started my tour near Wentworth Park and slowly made my way around the back streets, before finishing the walk along its new waterfront.

After walking through Glebe's maze of streets....I finally reached the reason I came.........the new foreshore promenade

Thats all folks!


Coming soon........my tour of Double Bay:)

Wow - thanks for posting these, Kirribilli. I walked around the northern area of Glebe just last week and 'discovered' some of local the backstreets - great to see them online just a few days later! A very interesting, tucked-away part of Sydney's inner-city.

Beautifully - shot pics , and it is really a nice place to enjoy and thanks for sharing ! By the way , here can't direct the target , why ?

you captured that part of glebe very well. it is also known as "upper glebe" because of it's the northern end with its grand houses in leafy surrounds and proximity to the harbour. "lower glebe" is a different story but is where most of the action and street life is - sometimes exotic. it's the parramatta rd / broadway end and contains one of sydney city councils largest housing commission areas, block after block, and it has an aboriginal community that is now almost as big as redferns. it's also got a large student population due to its proximity to sydney, uts and notre dame universities.

the glebe section of the harbour foreshore walk is a great little wander! the whole walk is turning into an awesome stretch of harbour access that will eventually be around 20km or so long. the majority of it is now accessible in places, it is the linkages that are still coming together.

Yeah was going to say. 'Lower Glebe' is where the action is. The street is littered with cafe's and is very international due to Sydney uni close by.

The new waterfront is great. Very nice and useful. It is normally choc full of ppl too at dusk.

Glebe scmebe; I want more Surrey Hills!


Nice work.

WOW, some of the new stuff near the end is great!
