Annandale on the Web
To inspire artistic works for the Eco-Annandale 2010 Exhibition, there were three leisurely guided walks around the reintroduced local provenance vegetation in Annandale.
The walks started at the Annandale Post Office, at the corner of Johnston and Booth St, Annandale and allow plenty of time to photograph and sketch. The walks were free and a few different walkers and artists turn up in comfortable walking shoes.
The 470 and 370 Buses stop across the street from the Annandale Post Office and other buses pass through Annandale along Parammatta Road and the Crescent. (Sydney Buses Trip Planner). The light rail also services Annandale, and there is free parking in Booth St (west of Johnston St).
After each walk it is planned to retire to a local venue for a bite and a drink.
