Black and Blue Walking Man: Beecroft to Rozelle Bay (Part 3)
Part 1 Part 2 I walked uphill into downtown Drummoyne. Unfortunately, it was a more grim version of Gladesville – which did little for my disappointed mood from the Gladesville Bridge. As well, what felt like a big blister was … Continue reading
