7.4  
After a short walk along Shirley Street I got to a park, to Berry Island. 
Berry Island is actually a peninsular. The mudflats linking the island were reclaimed in the 1960‘s and a nice open green space was created.
 A sign with interesting information explaines the Aboriginal history of this area. 





Around Berry Island is a loop walk, the Gadyan Track of about 800 m. 
There are some good Aboriginal Rock Carvings. 





At the southern point of Berry Island is a little look-out with a view across to Ballast Point, Balmain and the City. I could also see Ball Head Bay where my next walk will start.

This walk was most enjoyable. I did not expect so much beautiful bushland.  
Little less than 10 minutes walking up hill Shirley Road got me to the Wollstonecraft Train Station.
