Urban hiking means nothing to me without enjoying food or drink along the way. I walked from Surry Hills to Darlinghurst. Mostly zig zagging my way around Liverpool Street... followed that road for awhile until I ran in to Bill's - I've been waiting years to return to Sydney to have brunch at Bills. When my cuz Justine came to San Francisco in 2002, she gave me a host gift; Sydney Food by: Bill Granger. Still one of my favorite cook books.
This is a true urban garden - drought proof plants and concrete instead of grass. At least the concrete is grass colored. Is this part of the Water Plan to 'drought-proof' Sydney until 2025? I don't know, but looks low maintenance to me.
I like to make things up or pretend I know what I'm talking about... so, I'm going to call this type of architecture Bauhaus - a German expression for house for building. (Not to be confused with the 1970 band Bauhaus) Anyway, this type of building is functional, rational and industrial. If you look closely at the picture above, you'll see the orange building in the background - Still walking along Liverpool Street in Sydney.
