Journey of a sole harvestor

                   Bus hopping is not my normal scene but to get to the Manly Vale and Balgowlah Community gardens it was necessary to take four buses.The first to the city,second to Spit Junction,third to Condamine st and lastly a bus to Innes  Street Manly Vale.
arriving at 10am i sautered to  the the garden but found it ordinary,the thick timber frames of the street plots were supporting healthy vegetable growth,as shown in the photo.

No other Harvestors to be seen ,so following instructions I headed up Quirk's Road to the bridge over the stormwater drain.

Asking several pedestrians walking their dogs or pushing prams, the location of the griffith street community garden. most were nonplus,answering in a friendly way we appreciate.But with no knoledge of its location.
(100 yards away ) Thinking this may be some sort of greek tradegty playing with my mind.
The Cemetry on the corner offered some distraction , with large trees providing shade, and grass under controll.

Over 100 souls laying in peace.
The Balgowlah Community garden was located.all locked up.

This was dissapointing,looking over the fence,the chooks wer clucking and a range of vegetables growing.

I made my way to Sydney Road,caught another bus to Manly warf,bought a coffee and boarded Freshwater for the trip to Circular Quay.The sun was providing a glorious fine day,a slight swell as we passed the Heads,
Fort Denison reminded me of Sydney's early history.It was time to come back to earth and do the shopping.
