An attempt to visit every suburb in Sydney.

I continue through the St George region into a suburb I'd never heard of before. Here's Bardwell Valley

Grove Street: Bardwell Valley

I continue through the St George region into a suburb I'd never heard of before. Here's

Bardwell Valley

Bardwell Valley sits northeast of my previous suburb Arncliffe. Naturally, that means getting in on foot, 


into some suburbia that looks like this. 

Being a suburb I'd not heard of before, I was interested to see what was in store for me. Well, being an entirely residential suburb, the answer is houses. 

Some big houses. 

Some little houses.

And mostly interesting houses, actually. 

Strolling along the suburb,

I really enjoyed how varied the homes are out this way. 

This one is wavy,

this one has bridge access,

and this one is too cute. 

Speaking of too cute, I also met this dog. 

I followed this street downhill,

taking advantage of the altitude difference to observe the surprisingly green surrounds, 

and carried on through Bardwell Valley. 

Have some double stair action. 

My green suburban walk continued, 

leading me to a golf course whose bounds I had to follow. 

This led to a dead end, 

or so I thought, until I noticed a clearing in the bushes, 

leading uphill into what turned out to be Silver Jubilee Park. 

In this park, you can look at the feeble fence of the golf course, 

look at this grove, 

or look at some play equipment. 

I did all of those things, before continuing out onto the street. 

From here, it was quite a short walk through a bit more of Bardwellian suburbia, 

to reach this roundabout that roughly marks the suburb's border with the next. 

Bardwell Valley: Pleasant, with a good fixin' of whacky houses.

  1. The Bardwell Valley Golf Course is the dominating landmark. The olive trees in Silver Jubilee Park commemorate the contribution of the Australian Greek community in the development of the local council area.
