Bridge of Remembrance and Queens Domain
Assembling, sorting lunch details and being reminded not to get lost. Today we are heading to the Bridge of Remembrance and taking in other sights on Queens Domain. "ooo!"
Setting off towards the Joggers Loop, also known as Max's Infinity Loop,
Assembling, sorting lunch details and being reminded not to get lost. Today we are heading to the Bridge of Remembrance and taking in other sights on Queens Domain. "ooo!"
This is it, it is named after orienteering champion, the late Max Cherry. Other names were considered including the predictable variations on 'Joggy Mcjogface' and also 'Run Forrest Run'.
There are views across the northern city to kunanyi Mount Wellington
A detour along a bush track
To Grass Gully, where native grasses are thriving
A pause to regroup and ask "Where next?"
The track brought us to Soldiers Walk
I happen to know that these two are discussing funeral plans and wills.
We reach the Bridge of Remembrance with its distinctive architecture.
Pointing the way to the Cenotaph
Another view of the mountain, this time above the workers finishing off the bridge access paths.
And Tasman Bridge in the distance.
The MONA ferry on the River Derwent.
Returning via Soldiers Walk
Passing the Powder Magazine.
Mmm?
Some other interesting observations
Note the name of this fallen soldier
And then to lunch in the Botanical Gardens
Succulent Omelette
Succulent curly potato wedges (with fish)
Succulent Breakfast Stack
all meals were huge.
The restaurant is called "Succulent" I can see why.
