A Heritage Road at
North Head? During one of our Foundation's spring wildflower
walks for community members led by Geoff and Judy Lambert, the group
found themselves on the wide path built along the coastal side of
the headland’s dune system. marked on the map as the Avenue of
Honour. The group was surprised to hear one of the participants
exclaim with reverence that they were walking on a ‘Telford road’!
What, you may ask, is a Telford road? And also, what actually is an
Avenue of Honour? |
