Castlecrag Walk

Houses on the north side of the street are built up on rocky escarpments
Houses on the south side run down to Retreat Reserve

Our bush care sign

Candle grevillea

Sailors Bay was awash with mud and storm water after the rain

Historical sign - Marion also gifted the site to Willoughby Council when she left for Chicago after WBG's death in Lucknow on the proviso that it would continue to be used as a community theatre. The beautiful stone work was restored by Bim Hilder.

A forest of tree ferns leads down to the stage

The stone tiered seating

A beautiful and natural amphitheatre perfect for performance

I had to post a letter between the rain showers on Sunday and took a walk around my suburb looking at the gardens and how well they fit in with the built landscape. Last stop was the Castlecrag Amphitheatre. It is always a favourite place to be in thinking of the live shows I have seen there and the myriad ways it comes alive creatively under the southern night sky.
