![]() We had a good selection of rolls for lunch - it was like taco night.Īt Oma T’s I watched Banjo the wood pile cat and I had a go at the tread mill. We normally only ride to Pig face hill on our bike rides, but when we got there Dad said that we had to keep going as this was a replacement for our walk. ![]() We visited Oma T for coffee and then stopped in on Paddy and Iris in North Haven before heading home. Among the boats we saw dolphins, pelicans and shags. We had our picnic lunch by the marina at North Haven (much easier to carry our lunch in bike panniers rather than using backpacks on our bush walks). From here the path follows Lady Gowrie Drive past my old high school and into the up-market suburb of North Haven. We had a routine stop on “Pig face hill” (the top of Strathfield Tce.). We took a photo of the one that described the old boat that was used in 1880 as a floating prison for delinquent boys as a friend of ours wrote a book about it. We cruised past Largs kiosk (a usual stopping place) and stopped briefly to look at some of the information poles that are interspersed along the bike path. The section of the path after Largs has five wooden bridges which were built to allow safe animal traffic under the bike path. This is where we join the bike pathin sand dunes can be easily observed here. The weather was fabulous overcast, calm, with the temperature peaking only at 27☌.Īt Semaphore we saw the Greek Festival in full flight (tents, music, hundreds of people, many smokey “lamb on a spit” gently turning), as well as sideshows (Gravitron, Cha-Cha, Dodgem cars etc), the miniature steam train (which runs on weekends during the school holidays from Semaphore to Fort Largs) and the historical Semaphore Palais (a large function centre built on the foreshore).įrom Semaphore to Taperoo the bike path passes through the sand dunes. ![]() A map of the bike path (number 5 in the series) is available. If you have bikes, you can catch the train from Adelaide to Glanville station (Outer Harbour line) and head down Semaphore Road and down to the jetty. The path was very simple, we headed from our place down Hart street to the bike track on the Esplanade foreshore and headed North towards Outer Harbour. Instead of a Sunday walk this week to get our dose of 'serenity' we did a very pleasant 20 km bike ride from Semaphore to North Haven.
