Headed out to do a bit of exploration into a part of Sydney I haven't been to before, except passing through on Victoria Road - Balmain. The exploration part was interesting, once I'd got across the Anzac Bridge and the industrialish area beyond, but wasn't feeling great as a run - small hills (not as many as you'll find in many bits of Sydney, but still a few) and the occasional stairs were hard work. Perhaps I was just feeling a bit frustrated at the overnight news from Saudi Arabia (following the evening news from AAMI Park).

There may not have been any basketweaving on display in Balmain, but there was plenty of evidence of the forthcoming local council elections - unlike Melbourne, this is an openly partisan activity (at least in the inner city), with posters for Labor, Liberal and Green candidates abundantly on display. (You'd probably need to be an optimist to be a Liberal candidate in Balmain).
