Left the hospital as a visitor and stepped off a north bound tram to cross over the very busy and noisy Sydney Road .. to enjoy the calm on a longer, but scenic pedestrian route home; along the shared with bicycles pathway next to #MerriCreek
Almost startled a water bird (heron?) on a rock mid-stream; so kept my distance. (Shadow in photograph is from overhead cycle & pedestrian bridge)
