Railway line walk and views in outer west Sydney : June 12 2024

in voilk •  25 days ago

    A slow start while my wife headed out to help a friend move furniture. Did some uranium market buying on ASX when US markets showed buying just before their markets closed. Day changed as my wife wanted to visit Ikea to get some furniture design done. She shopped - I walked

    Train lover got a chance to see trains - coal train fully loaded waiting to cross the river

    Walkway runs along the train line for a while - coal train moved off

    Apartments are mostly new since I last cycled down this way. The suburb - Rhodes - has become quite a buzz with offices, shops and apartments flowing down to the riverside

    And passenger train service into Sydney and up to the north shore where I live

    Just below the station was a new bike locker. Free to use - just use your train card and you get to lock up your bike. No bikes in this and only one stroller. All the bikes were closer to the station in the lock to a pole racks - never mind the you beaut bike locker and scan your ticket

    Apartment city lining up on the way down to the river along the railway line

    The other side of the line still has a lot of housing commission houses. Just a question of time before they will be bought out. Not hard - make an offer to the state government and guarantee housing for tenants in the new blocks. Shut down two and build 50 and house 2.

    The house next door - a little more swish

    Yep build one like this - not 50 - 150

    Local community centre - they will leave that standing

    Looking back up the line to Rhodes and the cranes are busy building more

    Getting closer to the river. Will not be long efore the apartments are on both sides of the line. First few apartment blocks are being built there now

    Got to the river crossing - have cycled this bike path a few times - knew were I was going. Tough to photograph through the meshed fence

    Walked off the track to get to a point to photograph across the Parramatta River to Meadowbank - also become apartment city

    Afternoon light lights up the railway bridge

    Bridge framing the apartments emerging on the south bank of the river

    View down the river from Mill Park to Paramatta - also becoming apartment city

    Outdoor gym in Mill Park framing the incoming weather. Looks like a huge storm - was not but colour told a different story.

    We had Thai for lunch in the shopping centre. Made a good excursion for me - no shopping and walked a new.slice of the city.

    Dinner: Spaghetti bolognese

    Trade action: ASX and Canadian uranium stocks. Also adjusted a few sold pit trades to buy time
