5.2.1  It is easy to get to Iron Cove Bridge, so many busses go along Victoria Road from and to the City and suburbs.

I walked across Iron Cove Bridge and had a good view of Balmain West shoreline, where I walked along in April. 

I also looked down to Birkenhead where I will start my walk today.

Birkenhead used to be an industrial area.  In 1970s the Dunlop factory closed down, the site was redeveloped and the old factory building became shopping centre with outlet stores for designer clothing. 

Later a marina and apartment complex was added. 

The big Unit Blocks may not look so attractive however most allow access to the foreshore, and that is very nice. 

At Birkenhead Point is a park with a play ground,

and around the Point a little bit of a beach. 

Next to it is the Drummoyne Sailing Club 

and nearby a boat slipway
