The Lunch Ride | Cooks River, Sydney

Cooks River has a reputation as the most polluted river in mainland Australia. It has a troubled past. When Cook first discovered the stream he wrote: "I found a very fine stream of fresh water on the north side in the first sandy cove within the island before which a ship might lay land-locked and wood for fuel may be got everywhere."
I wanted to find out for myself and I found a really pleasant valley, a well made cycleway that stretches for more than 23km and a river that is beautiful in parts, wide and powerful and nothing more than a concrete storm drain in other parts. Overall, it was a really nice place to spend some time.
