Nine souls walked uphill from the salt waters of the harbour (having travelled by Light Rail from Central to St Johns Square) to Central station along the Goods Line, ably led by Rosemary and Kevin Stevens, in a wonderfully mid-20’s sunny but very smoke-hazy day.
Morning tea at lovely Pirrama Park at the bottom of Harris Street Ultimo where it meets Elizabeth Macarthur Bay.

Cottages in Pyrmont Road and site of Goldsbrough Mort wool stores now apartments in Pyrmont Street. The wool stores were used for processing and storage of wool before being shipped out
Views over Darling Harbour, Chinese Garden of Friendship and city views from the Event Deck ICC - a wonderful find by Rosemary and Kevin!
The Goods Line was built along a disused rail corridor from Central Railway station - Railway Square to the Darling Harbour Goods Yard. It features a linear parkland open space, and is similar to the famous and popular New York HIGH LINE. It is a pedestrian and cycle path in the centre of the city and opened in 2015. Trains chugged along the tracks transporting wool, wheat and other items back and forth, including coal which was for the Ultimo Power Station (now the Powerhouse Museum - and sadly, destined by the NSW Gov’t to be relocated to Parramatta in 2023). The last goods train left Darling Harbour in 1984.
