The Goods Line

On old section of railway line between Central Station in George St and Darling Harbour was reopened in August...as a walking track. 
With the New York High Line in mind, the Goods Line is an "urban renewal project" for pedestrians and bikes.
It's currently a 300m trek through the UTS buildings in Ultimo which ends behind the Powerhouse Museum.
Plans are afoot to extend it.

The beginning starts abruptly between the UTS buildings and the ABC studios.

We're on the right track!

Sections of the track have been preserved and turned into gardens & recreation areas.

Elevated public space

The old tracks peek out at various spots.



Sandpit with water canals - an ex-preschool teachers dream!
Mr Seasons had fun too.

End of the line - at the construction site of the new Convention Centre at Darling Harbour

Waiting for the light rail...
Here it comes from the Paddy Markets stop.
