Bubble Gum Alley - Wahroonga

Situated in the leafy suburb of Wahroonga this lane way received the Bubble Gum Alley name from the local school kids who would deposit their chewing gum on the fences. Though the fences have been cleaned since the days I used to walk through, there is still a large amount of gum adorning the lane.

Disgusting to some, but art to others. I still remember the multitude of colour that once stood out as you walked past.

I'd love it, if anyone reading this has a picture of the alley when it was full of gum.

Lovers Jump Creek

Hidden to some, this waterfall is located in the heart of Turramurra at Lovers Jump Creek. Located less the 5 metres from a main road, many people are unaware its even there.

The waterhole at the base of the falls was once a popular swimming hole, but with the water source coming from the surrounding streets it is very polluted. Such a shame for such a beautiful area.

If you do visit the area, feel free to remove some of the abundant amounts of litter, from tennis balls to plastic bottles that have flowed down from the steets above.

Wahroonga Waterfall

After the recent rains this waterfall in the bushland of North Wahroonga was flowing really well. As the water spills over the rocks it becomes a tempting place to cool off, however the water does flow from surburbia so may not be the cleanest though it looked crystal clear to me.

Rain gets creek flowing

After a week of rain, plenty of water was flowing down a local creek.
