Wonderful stone stairs into Garigal National Park

If you go down to the end of Killarney Drive you'll see this sign marking the edge of Garigal National Park.

Despite a valiant attempt to rid our streets of stray dogs, we were harassed by a butt sniffing beast, but that's another story..

Great work has been done on Flat Rock walk and the path down past the waterfall, which was running today, to the little beach. A beautiful staircase has been carved out of the very living rock.

This must have been a huge job over many months and I wish I knew who to thank for it. The steps have been lovingly crafted either by carving from existing stone or by being constructed from rock and wood.

This makes the walk far more attractive and less perilous for us old folks. Our suburb has been enhanced.

Vandals strike bus stop near Killarney shops

In a rare act in this peaceful place, it looks like vandals have smashed the safety glass in the bus shelter near the Killarney shops.

Beware the glass still on the seat:

Oh the horror, the horror.

Hoons invade Starkey Street

The quiet leafy streets of placid Killarney Heights must have been disturbed on at least one night when either hoons caused their vehicles to leave these crazy skid marks:

or perhaps it was a hapless Toyota driver, both feet pressing on the brake, unable to control their runaway car?
