Short Walk – Balmain and Surrounds

Wednesday, March 17, 2021 @ 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM

Join us for an exploration around Balmain. We will meet at Balmain Wharf, explore Ballast Point Park (the old Caltex refinery site), continue along the foreshore to the Colgate Palmolive building, and finally join the Tom Uren historic walking trail. We will aim to stop for refreshments at either an East Balmain or Balmain pub.
