Initial Walkabout in Burwood Area (6/9/23)

Bob and I have noticed on Google Maps that there are a number of local parks with walking paths in our ‘hood. We decided to check one of these out today and then end at the nearby shopping center to do a bigger shop than we had done the other day.

We did the Wirundjeri Walk that has a wetland and lovely green park spaces. We came back on a trail through Eley Park. Our walkabout had us go through parts of Blackburn, Whitehorse, Eley, before returning to “our” Burwood neighborhood.

We were headed to the Burwood Brickworks Shopping Centre.

We would normally approach it from the other side (Middleborough Road).

The shopping center has a Woolworths (the big grocery store), a cinema, a bulk foods store, an Asian grocery, a liquor store, and a couple beauty salons and small restaurants. It’s quite handy — about a 5 minute walk from the house.

Crumble keeps us on our toes.
He is a jumper/explorer, who tries to jump up the front of you
and likes to leap onto our backs when we are bent over
fiddling with our converter plug that is on its last legs.
